THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL VOLUME
The
Canadian
Congregational
Year Book
1907 ■ 1908
REV. E. D. SILCOX
EDITOR
4 Sussex Avenue, Toronto
TORONTO:
Printed for the Congregational Publishing Co. by Copp, Clark Co., Limited
1907-8
FOREWORD.
A year's work of our denominational activities cannot be
tabulated for the reason that so much of it cannot be seen. We
may quote facts and figures with perfect accuracy, but when
this is done the half has not been told. There are certain leaven-
ing influences set in operation — we may not be able to trace
these — we can compute facts and figures, but we cannot compute
emotions, sensations, inspirations. The arrow shot into the air
is found long years after in the heart of an oak and the song of
the singer in the heart of a friend.
This volume contains a year's record of things attempted and
things done. As these are perused one is led to exclaim, "What
hath God wrought." Not one of these reports is in the minor
key, there is a clear ringing note of hopefulness and victory.
Our harps are not hung on the willows, but are in our hands,
and we strike them to the praise of Him who always causeth us
to triumph in Christ. Our churches to-day are in a position to
go forward as never before, most of them being free of debt and
therefore "free to serve,"
"Our God is marching on" — so must we.
It is vain to hope that the volume is without mistakes, but no
pains have been spared to make the information contained in it
both accurate and up to date. Grateful acknowledgment is
hereby made to the great assistance rendered by many in the
preparation of the book, without whose ready and efficient help
the completion of the volume by the usual date would have been
quite impossible.
Toronto, July, 1907.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR AND CONGREGATIONALISM.
The first Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor was
organized February 2, 1881, in the "Williston Congregational
Church, Portland, Me., by Rev. Francis E. Clark, its pastor.
Writing on "What Congregationalists Have Done," the editor
of The Advance says: "Congregationalists started the greatest
Christian young people's movement of this country or any other
country, of this generation or any other generation."
Congregationalism gave Christian Endeavor to the other de-
nominations, and to the nations of the world, without denomina-
tional tag or device of any kind. To-day Christian Endeavor is
at home in more than sixty denominations, and its literature is
printed in more than eighty languages.
More than ninety per cent, of the young people's societies in
Congregational churches are Christian Endeavor. Why not make
it unanimous?
Christian Endeavor is not a form of words or a prescribed
method. It is flexible enough to be adapted to the needs of any
church. The constitution and pledge can be framed by the
pastor to meet any local conditions.
Christian Endeavor is the training school of the church. Its
success depends upon the quality of its members, and the spirit-
ual atmosphere of the church. To do its best work it must have
the leadership of the pastor, and the sympathy and co-operation
of the officers and older members of the church.
Christian Endeavor stands for faith in Jesus Christ, outspoken
confession of Christ, faithful service for Christ and his church,
and fellowship with other followers of Christ. It believes in
prayer, and cultivates the spirit of devotion. It believes in ser-
vice, and trains its members by practical work on the various
20 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
committees. It fosters proportionate, systematic, and generous
giving.
A multitude of pastors say that Christian Endeavor is the
best organization yet devised for training young people in Chris-
tian life and service. The American Board reports that it has
become an essential part of their mission work abroad. It is
universally commended by the missionaries. It is the ideal
organization for chapels, missions and school-house meetings
where there is no regular pastor or church organization.
It is the only organization in the church that systematically
graduates its members, and has to fill their places by constantly
securing new material. This fact should be remembered when
judging it by statistics alone.
The present world-wide enrollment is 69,138 societies, with
more than 3,500,000 members, the largest in the history of the
movement. Christian Endeavor is still growing. Help it to
reach its greatest and best.
Free organizing literature can be had by writing to "William
Shaw, General Secretary of the United Society of Christian En-
deavor, Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass.

have been Chairmen of the Union and are members in any of
their churches.
III.— That this Union is founded on a full recognition of the
distinctive principles of Congregational Churches, namely, the
Scriptural right of every separate church to maintain perfect in-
dependence in its government and administration, and therefore,
that the Union shall not assume legislative or administrative
authority, or in any case become a court of appeal.
IV. — That the following are the objects contemplated in its
formation : 1. To promote evangelical religion in connection with
the Congregational denomination. 2. To cultivate brotherly affec-
tion and co-operation in everything relating to the interests of the
associated churches. 3. To establish a fraternal correspondence
with similar bodies elsewhere. 4. To address an annual or an
occasional letter to the associated churches, accompanied with
such information as may be deemed necessary. 5. To obtain
accurate statistical information relative to the Congregational
Churches throughout the British American Provinces. 6. To
hold consultation on questions of interest connected with the
cause of Christ in general.
V. — To promote the accomplishment of these objects, and the
general interests of the Union, an annual meeting of its members
shall be held, each of the associated churches being represented
by two lay delegates; the meetings to be held at such time and
place as may be appointed at each annual meeting.
VI. — That the officers of this Union be a Chairman, General
Secretary, Eecording Secretary-Treasurer and Statistical Secre-
tary. That a committee shall also be elected annually who with
the officers shall be the Executive Committee of the Union. The

relation to their literary acquirements, and their doctrinal and
ecclesiastical views. (4) Should the Membership Committee be

the next annual meeting, when a two-thirds vote of the members
present shall be requisite for admission into membership.
(Note. — When a minister retires from the active work of
the ministry and follows some other calling by which he makes
his living, his name shall be dropped from the roil unless he
makes a request that his name be retained. See Year Book 1906-
7, pages 43, 44.)

The Union Committee presented the following report: —
UNION COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Your Committee* has pleasure in presenting its report at this
First Annual Meeting of the Congregational Union of Canada
(in which is merged the organization formerly existing for 53
years as the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec).
1. At the meeting a year ago the Union passed a resolution to
the effect that the Rev. «W. T. Gunn, M.A., B.D., be requested to
give himself wholly to the work of the churches, and further that
the arrangements with Mr. Gunn be entrusted to the Committee
of the Union.
Your Committee conveyed to Mr. Gunn the earnest request of
the Union and urged upon him the acceptance of the position.
We have much satisfaction in reporting that he has accepted the
appointment and that through the generosity of Mr. S. H. C.
Miner the salary and all expenses in connection with the work
36 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
are provided. Mr. Miner has expressed the thought that a free
hand should be given Mr. Gunn until he has had opportunity to
acquaint himself with the conditions of the work, ascertain its
needs and formulate plans for its development.
After conference concerning the scope and nature of the office
the following resolution was adopted : — ■
"Resolved, that while this committee recognizes that Mr.
Gunn shall have a free hand, and that a great deal depends upon
his initiative and methods it would at the same time suggest that
the present situation requires : —
"1. That vacant churches be supplied with pastors.
"2. That Mr. Gunn should co-operate with the Executive
Committee of the Home Missionary Society in caring for the
weaker churches under their charge.
"3. That Mr. Gunn should aid the various denominational
societies in making plans and presenting the work to the
churches. ' '
"We would further report that Mr. Gunn resigned his charge
at Embro and entered upon his duties in November last.
In appreciation of the generous action of Mr. Miner in this
connection your Committee unanimously passed the following
resolution, which was forwarded to him by the Secretary: — -
"That having learned through Mr. Gunn of Mr. S. H. C.
Miner's liberal offer to provide the salary and expenses of this
office, this Committee place on record its appreciation of Mr.
Miner's generosity in thus making it possible for the Committee
immediately to carry out the wish of the Union."
We recommend that the action of the Committee be con-
firmed by the Union.
2. The Congregational Union of Canada in view of the fact
that this movement has not yet been completed we think it well
to state that while -the Congregational Union of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick have declared in favor of the idea, they have
not yet taken definite action in regard to it.
The various denominational societies have alreadytaken steps
toward having their constitutions changed to conform with the
change in the name of the Union.
3. The United Brethren.
By the terms of the resolution passed last year the ministers
and churches of the United Brethren conference were to become
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OP CANADA. 37
members of this Union and enrolled as such by the Secretary
after certain action on their part.
We are glad to learn that the basis of Union on which they
are uniting with us was accepted by them at their Conference,
and progress has been made in the necessary transfer of property
to the local congregations. We expect the movement toward
union will be completed during this meeting in Hamilton.
4. The docket of business.
Following the usage of former years a printed programme
has been prepared. We submit it as a general outline of the
proceedings of the Union. It is unnecessary to refer here to the
various reports and matters of business that will come up for
discussion. Reference, however, may be made to the questions
of re-organization and Church Union which will receive special
consideration. Having in view the importance of these matters
especially in their relation to new work in the West, and the
desire of the Union for as full conference as possible with our
English brethren upon them, your Committee presented a re-
quest to the Union of England and Wales to send a representa-
tive deputation to attend this meeting. They have very kindly
responded to this request and have sent the Rev. John Eames,
M.A., A.T.S., of Lewisham, London. We extend to Mr. Eames
and to Mrs. Eames, who accompanies him. a cordial welcome.
Respectfully submitted,
James T. Daley,
Secretary.

REPORT OF JUBILEE FUND COMMITTEE.
There is little change in the condition of the Jubilee Fund
since last report. It was the universal desire that the Central
Fund should be increased to an amount sufficient to pay all bal-
ances due the aided churches, but only a thousand dollars has
been added during the year. In November last the English Com-
mittee sent the last remittance of the promised £4,000. We again
gratefully acknowledge the generosity of their timely and in-
spiring offer and the persistent and self-sacrificing efforts to
place in our hands the promised amount.
The Jubilee Fund, as a whole, has amounted, including the
English donation, to nearly $203,000. Of this total the Central
Fund has amounted to $62,634.36, which is made up from the
following sources : From England. $19,407.41 ; S. H. C. Miner,
$20,000 : G. B.. Burham, $5,000 ; churches and various individ-
uals, $17,987.97; interest, $238.88. The disbursements have
been: Aid to the churches, $57,738.08 (of this there passed

through the hands of our custodian of the Fund, Mr. C. R. Black,
$52,688.08); expenses, $3,767.20; leaving balance on hand,
$1,128.76. The following is the list of churches that have re-
ceived aid from the Central Fund and the amount paid to each,
with the amount raised by each in brackets: Toronto, Olivet,
$9,234.24 ($11,459.68) ; Western, $8,877.68 ($10,322.90) ; Bond
St., $4,107 ($4,775.75) ; Zion, $3,569 ($4,150) ; Broadview, $688
($3,136) ; Parkdale, $771.49 ($811.11) ; London, First, $4,300
($5,000) ; London, Southern, $1,859.71 ($2,361) ; Stratford,
$1,979.96 ($2,302.29) ; Ottawa, First, $2,336 ($7,000) ; Ottawa,
Zion, $1,000; Kingston, First, $736.16 ($3,440); Bowmanville,
$872.55 ($1,000) ; Hamilton, Immanuel, $559 ($650) ; St. Catha-
rines, $202.47 ($233) ; Barrie, $175.34 ($950) ; Montreal, Zion,
$6,192 ($9,200) ; Westmount, $860 ($4,000) ; Fitch Bay, $42.50
($450.72) ; Vancouver, Knox, $3,225 ($7,500) ; Vancouver, First,
$2,150 ($2,500) ; Victoria, $1,720 ($2,000) ; Brandon, $934.06
($1,155.20) ; Winipeg, Central, $444.44 ($9,350) ; (Winnipeg
returned this amount with added subscription to Central Fund) ;
St. John, N.B., $602 ($2,900) ; Liverpool, $172 ($707.25) ; Truro,
$127.50 ($591.50).
For the amount raised by the unaided churches see the report
of 1906.
The distributions to the churches amount to about 86% of
the sum which it was hoped would be given, which totals
$66,557.59. To meet this unpaid balance of $8,819.51 there is
little more than a thousand dollars in the treasury.
According to the provisions of the Central Fund the aided
churches have given liens on their property in favor of the Can-
ada Congregational Missionary Society acting as trustees of the
Union. Nineteen have given the prescribed form, four are
secured to the denomination through the C.C.M.S. ; one has given
an agreement pending completion of Fund, one returned the
contribution, and of one we asked no lien on account of the
small donation.
Your Committee would cordially acknowledge the labors dur-
ing three years of the custodian of the Fund, Mr. C. R. Black,
and thank him for his faithful and accurate administration of
the Fund.
Your Committee are of the opinion that we should not think
of the work of the Jubilee Fund enterprise as being completed,
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 41
and therefore recommend the continuation of the committee and
of efforts towards final success. We recommend that the Com-
mittee be composed of the following gentlemen. Revs. H. Ped-
lev. W. T. Gunn, J. K. Unsworth, J. W. Pedley, and Messrs.
C. Cushing, C. Gurd, C. R. Black, H. O'Hara and H. Yeigh.
Mr. Unsworth also presented the financial statement of Mr.
Charles R. Black, custodian of the funds. On motion this was
taken as read.
Discussion of the report to be continued at next meeting.
At 11 a.m. the Union adjourned to meet again at 12 o'clock.
At 12 o'clock the Union re-assembled, when the vote was taken
for Chairman. Mr. Charles Cushing, B.C.L., Montreal was
elected on the first ballot.
Mr. Cushing on being escorted to the platform expressed his
thanks for the honor conferred upon him.
An invitation from Emmanuel Church, Montreal, to hold
the next annual meeting in that church was referred to the Busi-
ness Committee.
The Union adjourned at 12.30 o'clock.
Friday Morning, June 7th.
Prayer meeting was conducted by Rev. W. H. A. Claris.
A sermon was preached by Rev. H. G. Rice, M.A., B.D
The minutes of last day's meetings were read and adopted.

Cooke be received and lie over until next year according to stand-
ing rule.

meeting, and that in the meantime the Secretary communicate
with the London Union informing them of this action.

42 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Rev. J. P. Gerrie reported on the "International Congrega-
tional Council "to meet in Edinburgh, June 30th to July 9th,
1908, and moved that the Nomination Committee be instructed
to apportion Canada's 18, of the total 400 delegates, between the
two Unions, and nominate delegates to represent this Union.
The Rev. John Eames, M.A., addressed the Union upon the
matter. The motion was carried.
The following report of the Committee on Church Union
was presented by Rev. J. "W. Pedley: — •
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHURCH UNION.
Your Committee met with the representatives of the two other
bodies in the third conference of the joint committee December
12th to 14th, 1906, in Toronto. The same earnest brotherly and
devout spirit which characterized the previous gathering was .
manifest and the dominant impression all through the discussions
was that we were working towards what we had already regarded
as a desirable and practicable goal. The honor of the chairman-
ship was extended to our Brother Rev. James W. Pedley, who dis-
charged his duties with ability and universal acceptance. Very
definite progress was made toward the end in view as will appear
from the printed reports of the proceedings, copies of which have
been sent to all our churches.
The sub-committee on doctrine completed its report which
was discussed at .length by the committee as a whole and was
adopted as printed.
The report of the committee on the ministry was adopted in
part only. The main question left undecided was that of the
minister's relation to the doctrinal statement of the Church,
and it was deemed wise to leave this matter until the Joint Com-
mittee had had opportunity for further consideration. The sub-
ject will come before the Union in connection with the resolu-
tions appended to this report.
"We have also to report that the scope of the Joint Committee
was enlarged in order to invite correspondence from the Anglican
and Baptist Churches with a view to the same end that the three
churches at present reporting have in mind. As it was not pos-
sible for these bodies to take official action in time for the meet-
ing of the Joint Committee special committees were appointed
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 43
to meet with similar committees from these bodies should they
express any desire to share in the negotiations for union.
• In compliance with the instructions of the Union last year,
your Secretary sent copies of the proceedings of the Joint Com-
mittee to the Secretary of the Congregational Union of England
and Wales and the Secretary of the Colonial Missionary Society.
A special committee was appointed by these two bodies, and the
following reply was received to our expressed desire for consider-
ation and* counsel: —
To the Members of the Canadian Congregational
Committee on Church Union.
Dear Brethren, — The communication addressed to us by your
Secretary, dated Toronto, July 21, 1906, asking consideration
and counsel on a proposed Union between the Congregationalists,
Presbyterians, and Methodists of Canada, has received the
earnest and prolonged consideration of a Joint Committee rep-
resenting the Congregational Union of England and Wales and
the Colonial Missionary Society, whose Report we have unan-
imously adopted and herein transmit to you.
I. We gratefully acknowledge and heartily reciprocate the
brotherly spirit which has prompted this request, and having
respect to the extreme gravity and importance of the matter at
issue, should be glad indeed if we could assist our brethren in
the west is arriving at such decision as may be in harmony with
the mind and will of the Great Head of the Church.
II. We heartily welcome every sign of the increase of mutual
trust and goodwill amongst the various branches of the Christian
Church. In face of the great problems confronting the Church,
a happier understanding between Christians of various commun
ions is urgently necessary. It is specially necessary in Canada,
in view of the rapid influx of population into the opening terri-
tories of the North-West.
III. But while this is true, both you and we recognize that
where so large a scheme of amalgamation is concerned, and
where the proposed union is intended to be not merely a fraternal
association, but an organized system, various important consid-
erations require to be dealt with. A Union of Churches varying
considerably in their ecclesiastical polity, if it is to be successful,
will require some give and take on the part of all concerned ; and
44 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
so long as such concessions do not affect fundamental principles,
right-minded men will be ready to forego mere personal prefer-
ences if some real advantage may be thereby attained.
IV. There is one position which both we and pur fathers on
both sides the sea have ever held as sacred and indispensable.
The distinctive witness of Congregationalism has ever been that
a Church of Christ can only exist truly and to purpose when
it consists of spiritual men— men "born of the Spirit," and who
manifest this in life and conduct, and upon whom personally
there rests a large and inalienable responsibility. Given such a
body of spiritual men, acting under the sole and supreme Head-
ship of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, it follows that they are
capable of, and entitled to, self-government in all that concerns
the internal life and administration of the Church. It is, in-
deed, by such self-government that character is disciplined and
Christian manhood attained. On the other hand, mischiefs of
the most serious kind have again and again attended the sur-
render of this self-governing power from the general body of the
Church to its officials or others, however able or well-meaning.
On this important point some of us were not without concern as
we read the "Proceedings of the Second Conference," held in
Toronto, December, 1905. From the proposals in the Report
of the Sub-Committee on Polity it appeared to us that the indi-
vidual Church — the "living Church, ".as your own Assembly
itself described it — was made to retreat far into the back ground.
It seemed to give place to District Councils or Presbyteries, to
Annual Conferences or Councils, and to a General Assembly,
which would have full power to legislate, among other things,
as to "qualifications for the ministry, matters of doctrine, dis-
cipline, government and worship ' ' ; this Assembly to be " the
Supreme Court of Appeal for questions of law, and also for
questions of fact on matters under its immediate administra-
tion." It was further proposed "that the local affairs of the
individual Church, charge, circuit, or congregation be managed
by local boards, or committees subject to the general legislation,
principles, and discipline of the United Church." To us, these
.comprehensive and far-reaching arrangements seemed to involve
•the superseding and effacement of the individual Church, that
body which is the one vital and all-important unit in the Con-
gregational system.
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OP CANADA. 45
V. We have pleasure now, however, in stating that the mis-
givings created by the proceedings of the Second Conference held
December, 1905, have been considerably modified by the proceed-
ings of the Third Conference held in Toronto, December, 1906,
the report of which has recently come to hand. We note, with
pleasure, that the Congregational Unions of Ontario and Quebec,
and of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, make the following
statement : ' ' Inasmuch as it is desirable that each of the negoti-
ating Churches should bring into the United Church substan-
tially that which has been distinctively its contribution to the
progress of the Kingdom of Christ ; inasmuch, also, as the special
glory of the Congregational Churches has been the ideal of full
responsibility and large Christian duty set before the members
of the local Church, we would urge that ample opportunity for
the preservation of this ideal be guaranteed in the Constitution
of the United Church" (pp. 7 and 8).
VI. Further, the following sections of the Report of Sub-
Committee on Polity also indicate considerable concessions in the
direction of Congregationalism: —
"The unit of organization for the United Church shall be
the pastoral charge, circuit, or congregation" (p. 24).
"The liberty of the individual charge shall be recognized to
the fullest extent compatible with (a) the oversight of the spirit-
ual interests of the charge by the minister (or ministers) and a
body of men specially chosen and set apart or ordained for that
work" (p. 25).
"The members of a charge who are entitled to all Church
privileges are those who, on a profession of their faith in Jesus
Christ and obedience to Him, have been received into com-
munion" (p. 25).
"Members, male and female, shall have the right to vote at
all meetings of the Church or congregation. Admission to mem-
bership shall be by the action of the minister and elders, leaders
or deacons, and, where desired, by the action of the communi-
cants also" (p. 26).
"The elders, deacons or leaders, and local preachers shall
be chosen by the communicants" (p. 26).
' ' The property of the congregation is held by trustees, ap-
pointed by the congregation, in a manner to be outlined in a
model trust deed" (p. 27).
4tf CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
We recall these passages from the recent Report as constitut-
ing a position to be firmly maintained, and, if possible, extended,
in all future Conferences and arrangements.
VII. There is, however, one other important point. We feel
that, from the Independent or Congregational standpoint, the
long and elaborate Doctrinal Statement is open to serious objec-
tion. All through their history Independents have refused to
bind themselves by any written or stereotyped formulary, on the
ground — to use John Robinson's words — that "God had always
more light and truth to break forth from His Word." They
have believed in the constant guidance and illumination of the
Spirit of God, and have always held themselves free to accept
that illumination, however and whenever it might be given. This
proposal to substitute for our ancient freedom an elaborate doc-
trinal schedule seems to us very much like exchanging the liberty
of the spirit for the bondage of the letter.
Of course this objection is diminished in fore1 if this Doc-
trinal Statement is regarded as merely declaratory, and not
meant for purposes of subscription or formal personal assent.
We have read with pleasure the admirable expression of the
views of the Canadian Congregational Unions on this subject,
when they say (p. 7) : As to the questions which specifically relate
the ministers to the Doctrinal Statement of the Church, we would
urge that they should be so framed as to make the determination
of a man 's soundness in the faith rest as closely as possible with
the living Church. We would also take the ground that in order
to the full recognition of the possibility of progress of thought,
under the guidance of the Spirit of God, the most ample con-
stitutional provision be made for welcoming and giving due
consideration to any proposal for the revision of the Standards
of the Church."
VIII. In conclusion, we would express the earnest hope that
in the event of the Union of the three denominations becoming
an accomplished fact, room may thus be found within the pro-
posed constitution for ample liberty in the interpretation of the
sacred Scriptures, under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, and for
the exercise by the individual Church of those rights and duties
which are, in our view, inalienable and essential to its vigorous
life. But we venture to suggest that, in the event of organic
union being found impossible, some scheme of Federation may be
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 47
devised, by means of which overlapping and competition may be
corrected where they now exist and avoided for the future; and in
their stead hearty co-operation may be secured amongst Churches
which by different methods pursue the same great end — the win-
ning of all men to the faith and obedience of Christ our Lord.
Recognizing with sincere pleasure, the broad and generous
spirit with which, in these Conferences, the Congregationalists
seem to have been met by their Methodist and Presbyterian
brethren ; and praying for the continued presence of God in all
your future deliberations, we commend you, dear brethre?i. to
the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this fateful and anxious time.
We remain,
Yours in Christian service,
Albert Spicer,
Chairman of Council of Congregational
Union of England and Wales.
Richard Wells,
Secretary of Congregational Union of
England and Wales.
Alfred Rowland.
Chairman of Board of Directors of
Colonial Missionary Society.
D. Burford Hooke,
Secretary of Colonial Missionary
Society.
The next meeting of the Joint Committee will be held in
Toronto the second Wednesday in September, 1907, when it is
hoped that our section will be fully represented.
Your Committee now begs to submit the following resolutions :
First. That this Union affirms its continued interest in the
negotiations for union, its gratification at the report of progress
•48 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
that has been received, and its sincere desire that the progress
shall not cease until the goal of a vital and effective union has
been reached.
Second, That while we rejoice that the Joint Committee has
been able to adopt a general statement of Christian doctrine
which fairly represents the common faith of the negotiating
churches, we still adhere to the resolution of the Union of 1906
that it is desirable that this statement should be "simpler" and
lay greater emphasis on ' ' Christian experience and conduct. ' '
Third. That in the matter of ordination to the Christian
ministry we consider that it will best safeguard the intellectual
integrity of ministers, and at the same time preserve the church
from formalism if at the ordination of candidates to the ministry
they shall not be compelled to give an absolute subscription to a
creed, but having before them the doctrinal statement of the
church may frankly, and in their own language, indicate their
relation thereto. It shall then remain with the ordaining body
to decide as to the acceptance of the candidate, great importance
always being attached to his general spirit and character.
Fourth. That we express our satisfaction that the Joint Com-
mittee has so far met the views of the Congregational Churches
as to male provision that local churches now existing may prac-
tically retain their present practices as to organization, and as
to control of property. At the same time we would urge that in
the formation of new charges the very largest share of local
responsibility and freedom of action, compatible with the welfare
of the whole, shall be granted.
We express our gratitude to the brethren in England for the
earnest consideration they have given to the question of Union,
and for the exceedingly able and sympathetic letter they have
sent in response to our request for counsel. We rejoice that in
their letter they have expressed their sympathy with the general
movement towards union, and their agreement with us in an
endeavor to carry into the united church all that is of vital
importance in our Congregational Churches.
We also express our pleasure in the presence of their fraternal
delegate, Eev. John Eames, M.A., A.T.S., and his presentation
of their views on this important matter.
The report was received, the Tesolutions and recommendations
to be considered seriatim.

be amended to read as follows : —
52 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
"VI. — That the officers of this Union be a Chairman, General
Secretary, Recording Secretary-Treasurer, and Statistical Secre-
tary. That a committee shall also be elected annually who, with
the officers, shall be the Executive Committee of the Union. The
duties of the Executive shall be as follows : — ■
(1) To act as an Advisory Board with the General Secretary.
(2) To prepare business for, and make reports to the Union.
(3) To carry out instructions of the Union."
This proposal was adopted.
II. That Standing Rule No. 2 be altered by the addition of : —
"The committees appointed by the Union shall meet on the
Tuesday previous to the assemblying of the Union, at such time
and place as may be arranged in conference with the Secretary
of the Union.
This was adopted.
III. Your Committee hereby gives notice of motion that
Article II. of the Constitution be altered to read as follows : —
"The Union shall consist of an equal number of ministerial
and non-ministerial representatives chosen by the various district
associations."
No action was taken on this notice of motion.
IV. Tour Committee having regard to the general interest
of our denominational funds, having seen the need of some re-
arrangement of our financial appeals, having seen the value of
the pledge system as used in the Northern and Western Churches,
Toronto, and also the value of the standards of giving suggested
for both Home and Foreign Missions this last year, do recom-
mend : —
(a) That there be a revision of the Financial Year, the Col-
lege Collection coming at the end of September, Home or Foreign
Missions in November, the Provident Fund in January as at pre-
sent, Home or Foreign Missions in March, with April and May
free for a general clearing up, while June 1st comes the Union
collection.
(b) We recommend that the officers of the various societies
meet in the early fall and arrange their financial appeals, allot-
ting to each Association the sum to be reasonably expected from
that Association for each Society, and that at the next meeting
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 53"
of the Association it be requested to apportion this amount to
each church, having due regard not only to number of members,
but also to past interest and gifts.
(c) That we recommend to the various churches the use of the
pledge system ; that on the first Sunday in January or other suit-
able day cards be distributed, upon which pledges may be made
for our various causes, these pledges to be paid as the givers may
desire during the year, weekly or otherwise, and that this be
supplemented by special days when special appeal shall be made
for each cause and a special collection of gifts pledged and un-
pledged be made.
This whole question was referred to the Executive Committee.
V. We recommend that the Secretary of the Union be in-
structed to forward to the various Associations and to the Union
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the following recommen-
dations :—
(1) That the Secretary of each of our Associations be re-
quested to exchange copies of the Constitution of the various
Associations, that these, together with copies of the Model Con-
stitution proposed by Dr. Hill, and the construction of the Asso-
ciation as outlined by the Church Union Committee may be con-
sidered with a view to securing general agreement ; and that the
Associations be requested to forward the results of such consider-
ation to the Secretary of the Union for consideration by any
Committee that may be appointed for that purpose.
(2) That the churches and Associations be asked to consider
and pronounce upon the proposed alteration of Article II. of the
Constitution.
Section (1) was agreed to. Section (2) was referred to the
Committee on Re-organization.
The Union adjourned at 12.30.

54 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
The consideration of Re-organization Committee's report was
resumed.
VI. Yonr Committee further recommend: —
(1) "That churches and ministers be requested not to take
part in the ordination of any who have not received the approval
of the fellowship of the churches as represented in the Associa-
tion either directly at an Association meeting or indirectly
through an Advisory Committee duly appointed by the Associa-
tion. That such ordination take place at the local church by the
Committee of the Association appointed for that purpose or at
a meeting of the Association if the church so request."
The Rev. J. Charles Villiers moved the following amendment
which was seconded by : —
"That ministerial membership be in this Union, and that
ministers and churches be requested not to acquiesce or partici-
pate in an ordination or installation which has not first been
assented to by a Committee of this Union, and that such Com-
mittee be constituted by the election to it of at least one mem-
ber from each of the several Associations and Unions within this
Union.
The amendment was lost and the recommendation of the Com-
mittee adopted.
(2) That in regard to the installation of men already ordained
the Associations be advised to appoint a Committee with a perma-
nent Chairman other than the Chairman of the Association whose
duty it shall be to assist pastors and churches in making satisfac-
tory settlements. That our churches be requested to seek the
advice of this Committee in their respective Associations before
a call is issued, and that our churches and ministers be requested
not to share in any installation service where such advice has not
been previously sought.
This recommendation was adopted.
(3) That while not taking away from any church the right
by Council called for the purpose to discipline, suspend or even
depose from the ministry any minister guilty of unworthy
actions, yet that hereafter we recognize that this power and the
responsibility for exercising it when needed be especially lodged
in the Association of Churches in whose district such minister
may be.
This recommendation was adopted.

The report was adopted.
The Temperance Committee submitted the following report.
. Your Committee report as follows: —
(1) That they have watched with unabated interest the pro-
gress of temperance reform during the year. We note with
much gratification the continued reduction of licenses issued in
the Province of Ontario as indicating the growing sentiment in
favor of a greater restriction of the liquor traffic.
(2) We view most seriously the fact that the distillers of our
country have united in the purpose to erect at Winnipeg a huge
distillery and have secured sixty acres of land whereon to put
their buildings. We earnestly hope and pray that this "unholy
league" may be frustrated in its plans, so that the products of
our golden wheat belt may not be converted into a poison to
curse the inhabitants of our newly formed provinces.
(3) We also desire to record our disapproval of the law of
the Province of Ontario requiring a three-fifth vote of the elec-
tors before local option becomes operative. It is not British fair
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 57
play and we submit that it puts a serious barrier in the way of
temperance reform and ought therefore to be abolished.
(4) The recent death of Mr. G. F. Marter, M.P.P., has re-
moved one of the most active members of the Dominion Alliance,
he being- at the time of his death the President of the Ontario
Branch of said Alliance. For many years he has been a most
enthusiastic supporter of temperance reform. One of the last
acts of his life was his introduction to the Ontario Government
one of the largest deputations that ever met in the legislative
halls to urge upon them the withdrawal of the three-fifth clause.
The report was adopted.
Moved by Mr. Seth P. Leet, seconded by Rev. J. K. Unsworth,
that the Committee on Church Union report to the churches on
the matter of Church Union if they think it advisable after the
meeting of the Joint Committee in September. — Carried.
The Secretary read a memorial from Mr. Sydenham Thomp-
son and others of Toronto on Sociological Questions. The Union
ordered that the receipt of this memorial be acknowledged.
It was moved by Rev. J. T. Daley, seconded by Rev. J. P.
Gerrie, that Rev. W. T. Gunn be elected General Secretary of
the Union. The motion was put by Mr. Daley and carried
unanimously.
The Union adjourned.
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10th.
The Chairman presided. Revs. G. H. Craik and Edward
Hamilton assisted in opening exercises.
Addresses were delivered by Revs. John Eames, M.A., Lewis-
ham, London. England, and J. W. Pedley, B.A., Toronto.
The Rev. A. F. Pollock, B.D., reported for the Business Com-
mittee. We recommend : —
I. That the very warm thanks of the Union be tendered
(1) To the Pastor and members of the First Congregational
Church for their kind and generous hospitality extended to the
members of the Union.
(2) To the choirmaster, organist and choir for their valuable
assistance rendered at the various services.
58 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
(3) To the ladies of the First and Immanuel Churches for
the very excellent provision they have made for our entertain-
ment from day to day.
(4) To Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Alexander and Mr. and Mrs. W.
J. Aitchison for the very pleasant and enjoyable outing and gar-
den party on the beach.
(5) To Mr. James Morton and Mr. Raynor for their efficient
services in the post office and information bureau.
(6) To the Chairman for the graceful and business-like man-
ner in which he presided over the meetings, also for his thought-
ful and inspiring address.
(7) To the Secretaries for their work.
(8) To the Rev. J. L. Alexander for his good sermon on Sun-
day evening.
II. That we place on record our sense of the pleasure and
inspiration derived from the presence of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs.
Currie, our returning missionaries to Cisamba, and of Rev. G. A.
Sanden, of "Wetaskiwin.
III. That we express our gratitude to the brethren in Eng-
land for the interest shown in the welfare of our churches and
the extension of our work. "We would especially emphasize the
pleasure and stimulus we have derived through the presence
with us of their representative, Rev. John Eames, M.A., A.T.S.,
and in view of the present stage of the negotiations looking
towards church union the very great value of the message brought
to us by him and of his personal contributions to the discussion.
IV. We move that the Union Committee's report be adopted
as a whole.
The recommendations of the Business Committee were
adopted.
The minutes were taken as read and adopted.
The Union adjourned to meet next year in Montreal.

REVIEW OF THE STATISTICAL REPORTS.
The list of churches is practically the same. Lawrence is a
new name. It is associated with Frome. Several churches in
the West have been formally received into the Union. There are
few vacancies. A few of the men in charge are stated supplies.
The ministers are men of good quality. We hope the day has
gone when churches will be for long periods with no minister in
charge. A pastor-at-large is a profitable investment.
There has been a. gratifying improvement in church member-
ship. There 'were received on profession of faith 694, by letter
325, a total of 1.019. The removals were, by death 84. letter 149r
discipline 3, revision 147. a total of 383, leaving a net gain of
636. This is the largest net gain of which I have record. In
1892 and 1894 the additions were larger, but fhe renewals were
also larger, leaving in each case a smaller gain.
The total additions represent an increase of 13 per cent, over
last year's membership, the net gain 8 per cent.
Difficulty in obtaining reports continues. In some cases the
fault is with the pastors, in other cases with the secretary or
treasurer, in many cases with the method of reporting. May I
suggest that the churches prepare for his report at the annual
church meeting. It is a comparatively easy matter to have all
financial and other statements arranged then with this report in
view. A number of churches already follow this plan. It pre-
vents confusion and makes prompt returns possible.
A number of churches report improvement to property. This
is one of the results of debt removal. It is a step toward the
larger service of freedom.
Sunday Schools are in good working condition. Several
Young People's Societies have been organized or revived during
the year.
On the whole this has been a year of encouragement.

CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 63
CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS.
The annual address was delivered by the Chairman of the
Union, Rev. William T. Gunn, M.A., B.D., upon the subject,
"The Fundamentals of the Early Church."
The main outlines of the address were as follows : —
These are days when men are drawing together. The old
red-hot denominational loyalty has grown cool. Men are grop-
ing toward one another in their church life with the feeling
that in some as yet not clearly discerned way the things that
unite are greater than those that divide. All over the world
church union is in the hearts of men, and there is searching for
the bond of union. Is it to be found in creed or church polity,
or in something deeper than either?
After the Bible was recovered for the common people by
the Protestant Reformation, Christians turned directly to the
Bible for the doctrines by which their life was to be guided.
Later they turned to the Bible also for the form of their church
government. The time is not long past when each denomina-
tion traced its government to the practices of the apostolic
churches. It is, however, now being recognized that Christ
gave to His followers no written creed, no detailed rules of
conduct and no formal outline of church polity.
Instead He gave to them something much greater; He gave
to them new life and with this new life they went forth as with
leaven. But just as leaven is put into the measures of meal so
we find each disciple taking the new life as leaven into the meal
of his own nature, ways of thought and accustomed circum-
stances.
The Jewish Christians carried the new life to the temple
and synagogues, the Greek Christians to the schools of oratory
and the market places. The new life expressed itself natur-
ally in the old forms, among the Jewish Christians in an organi-
zation like the synagogue, with the names of its officers, among
the Greeks in the likeness of their religious and fraternal socie-
ties, with their officers and names.
In the same way the Epistle of James reveals the leaven
of the Christ-life in the meal of the methods of religious thought
of a Jewish mind, while the Gospel and Epistles of John and
64 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
the Epistles of Paul show the same leaven working in meal of
very different natures.
We are realizing that while the Gospel brings much to a
disciple, the disciple also brings much to the Gospel. The
Gospel, for example, contributed much to the life of the Roman
Empire, but that great political organization also influenced
mightily the forms of Christian Church worship and govern-
ment, while the impress of the Latin mind is upon our theology
still.
But we to-day under the guidance of the same Spirit are
as free to take the life and power of Jesus and apply it to the
needs of the world to-day, and to give it expression in the
forms of thought of to-day as were the early Christians.
Abandoning, then, all search for a formal creed, for de-
tailed rules of morality and a set polity in the story of the
Gospel and the Acts of the early Church, we set ourselves to
find the leaven, those unchanging and fundamental principles
of the teaching of Jesus which the early Christians applied to
their times that we may apply them to our own.
Briefly these fundamentals of the Early Church are five.
First, "Freedom of Conscience." In the teaching of Jesus
there is every recognition of this, His appeals to men are
spiritual and reasonable, power that might come to Him in
any other way He rejects. The Cross is at once the greatest
manifestation of the love of God, and the dignity of man, there
are no thunders of compulsion, it is the appeal of spirit to
spirit.
God does not compel obedience from any man. Who, there-
fore, should allow man to do so? Closely examined the teach-
ings of Jesus and the Early Church recognize no authority ex-
cept the moral and spiritual.
The second fundamental is, "The Spirituality of Religion,"
as set forth in the words of Jesus to the Samaritan woman,
"God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship
Him in Spirit and in truth." In thus emphasizing the spiritu-
ality of religion, Jesus lifted from the shoulders of all men for
all time, all bondage to places, forms or customs. And these
no church may again impose.
In "The Supremacy of Life" is to be found the third fun-
damental. It is not so much what a man knows about God
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 65
as his attitude to the God he knows. The supreme question
is not how much do you know, but are you willing to follow.
"I am the way," says Jesus, and the test of discipleship is, "If
any man will ... let him follow me."
This was the bond of unity in the Early Church, they dif-
fered in many things, there were old and new schools of theo-
logy then as now, but they were one in following Jesus. In the
days of persecution this was an easy test, the contrast with the
world round about in character, the joining with the brethren
in worship made this an easy test, but as the second genera-
tion grew up trained in Christian morality this test became
harder to apply. A lower and easier test was substituted, that
of creed, and the test became now not moral direction but men-
tal knowledge, not unity of life but unity of belief and creeds
arose. Later still when the Church conquered the State and
the State became the Church, the tests went lower still and be-
came that of organization, of official membership. . There have
been the three great unities, Life, Belief, Organization, in
which men have sought the bond of union, but of these three
that of life is supreme, and the only one recognized in the
teaching of Jesus. There must be room in the great Church
of the future for all men whose lives are set toward our Lord
Jesus whatever may be their varieties of belief or of organiza-
tion.
The Church has tried to find unity in creeds and failed, and
a still worse failure must follow all attempts to find unity in
organizations however great.
The only basis upon which all can unite is that of unity of
life. Creeds divide, character unites. Life must be supreme.
Building upon these we come to the Christian, free, spiritual
devoted to Jesus in his relation to other Christians and so to
the fourth fundamental ''The Brotherhood of Believers."
It is a relief to turn from Church history with its courts
and elaborate machinery, its legislation and its titles and digni-
taries, to the New Testament with its simple terms of the family.
God is "Our Father," "all ye are brethren" and instead of
legislation we have family love.
To many men this seems weak, a rope of sand, and they
have tried to make stronger bonds, but their cables have proved
weak and over all dividing walls of creed and polity, hearts
66 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
that love Jesus Christ leap together and prove the simple bond
of loving fellowship the strongest still.
It follows from this equality of brotherhood that these
brethren in love under the guidance of the Spirit are their own
only authority, govern themselves and co-operate in the ser-
vice of man and the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God.
Then crowning all in the New Testament, the purpose of
all spiritual up-building is that which is fundamental in the
character of Jesus and the saints of the Early Church that the
aim of the soul and of the Church is the redemption of the
world. Not in itself, but out of itself, not for itself, but for
others, this is the joyous end of the development of the life of
the soul and of the Church. Down deep this is fundamental in
the life of Jesus and of the Early Church, and of every true
soul and church to-day.
In closing, Mr. Gunn, expressed the hope that these funda-
mentals might be emphasized more and more in our own
churches, and that only by their full recognition could any
vital and effective Church Union be brought about.
The Late G. B. Burland
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA. 67
OBITUARY.
Mr. George B. Burland, for many years a member of Emmanuel
Church, and prominent in the business life of Montreal, passed
away during the year in the 78th year of his age. The funeral
service in Emmanuel Church, May 29, 1907, was conducted by
the pastor, Rev. Hugh Pedley, who in a few words testified to
the prominent part Mr. Burland had taken in the inauguration
of the Jubilee Fund by which the Congregational Churches of
Canada had been freed from debt. Mr. Burland 's gift of
$10,000 was the first response given to the offer made by the
Congregationalists of England to this movement.
The memorial sermon was preached by a former pastor, Rev.
J. B. Silcox, who in the course of his address said: "For over
half a century Mr. G. B. Burland lived in this city, and held
a conspicuous place in its industrial life. He was born to be a
leader of men. As the Alps rise above the plain, so some men
rise above the levels of ordinary life, and become leaders of the
rest. God capitalizes rare qualities of mind and heart in some
men. He did so in Mr. Burland. God and nature endowed him
with more than ordinary ability, and by these superior endow-
ments ordained that he should lead in business enterprises, and
in humane service. He had a fine physique and a clear brain,
and he never harmed either body or brain by drink or vice. From
his young manhood days, on to the close of nearly fourscore
years he lived a clean, strong, active, upright life. We can say
of him to-day what the inspired writer said of King David, ' He
died in a good old age full of days and riches and honor. '
"He not only gave money, but what was better still he gave
personal attention and personal service. The benevolent and
humane institutions of the city for many years have shared the
benefit of his business acumen, as well as his generous contribu-
tions of money. In practical ways he carried out the injunction,
of the apostle, 'Ye that are strong ought to bear the infirmities
of the weak. ' The hospital, the asylum, the Home for Aged and
Infirm and many other institutions for many years have shared
his benefactions. The man who has contributed his talents and
wealth to the building up of religious and humane institutions
of a city, will live as a benediction in these institutions for all
time to come."

NOTICE.
It is becoming more than ever a practice among Christian
people to recognize the Lord's portion in their Last Wills and
Testaments, whereby, though they be dead, they speak and act
in the furtherance of Missionary, Educational and Benevolent
objects. American Congregationalists are among the most wise
and generous in this day, and have left legacies of blessings for
succeeding generations. Among the members of our Congre-
gational churches in Canada, there have also been those who
have followed a likewise generous course.
For the guidance of those who may desire to make like be-
quests, the following legal form is subjoined. The amount be-
queathed may be devoted specially to the Church Extension
and Building Fund, in which case the income would only be used,,
or may be given for the general purposes of the Society.
FORM FOR A BEQUEST.

sionary Society, incorporated by the Parliament of the Domin-
ion of Canada. A.D. 1S55, the sum of $ out of
my estate, to be paid without any charge or

78 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
THE FIFTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY
SOCIETY.
The Fifty-fourth! How the years roll on: carrying with
them the record of work well done, of efforts honestly made, but
the fruition not yet apparent; alas, also, of opportunities unim-
proved; records of failure. Soon other faces will light up with
joy as the returns of the year are presented, or sadden with care
at the sight of work undone. Other voices will speak the annual
reports and give the brotherly greeting at the stated gatherings.
With us, the actors of to-day, the only question then will be,
Have we been faithful? Are we ready with the account of our
stewardship? To-day is the day of golden opportunity. Large
and rare are the openings presented, and we are not insensible
to their importance, but are accepting all as we are able! Oh,
for men and money! Yet I believe that if we had fifty more
heroic, self-sacrificing, capable men, the means of support would
not be lacking.
In the older parts of our field the work has gone on without
interruption, and most of the churches show that solid work has
been done* But in many, the circumstances are such as to pre-
clude the possibility of any marked increase. It is proof of faith-
ful service on the part of many that they hold their own. That
5s, they keep about their usual numbers, and maintain their finan-
cial strength ; for the drain of emmigration is hard for many of -
them to bear. They do not hold their own; they send their own,
and their own best, to work in other parts of our great country,
or into the neighboring Republic. Especially is this true in the
Maritime Provinces, but the brethren there are toiling on, and
not without good results.
There have been a few changes during the year. Rev. I. A.
Rose resigned Pleasant River, and associated churches, to assume
the pastorate of Keswick Ridge, N.B., rendered vacant by the
removal of Rev. Churchill Moore to Ayre's Cliff, Que. Pleasant
River is thus without a pastor at present.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 79
Mr. Geo. A. Armstrong came out from Belfast, Ireland, to
take charge at Kingsport, N.S., and like his brethren from the
same old land, is giving a good account of himself. He will be
ordained in a few weeks and installed pastor.
Rev. Samuel J. Wilson has done a good work in Margaree,
C.B. A new church and school room have been built and the
parsonage p'it in good repair, and all free of debt. The people
are looking forward to entertaining the Union of Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick in July next. Mr. Wilson will likely have
finished his work in Margaree by September next; and while his
people are sorry to part with him, they recognize that a man of
his energy and ability is needed in a larger field.
Rev. Robert Barron is greatly blessed in his work in the Noel,
Selma, and South Maitland field.
We have been unable to secure a pastor for the Economy
Church.
Truro has still uphill work. Mr. Cox's health is such as to
call for a less strenuous situation. Mr. Ball in Liverpool, N.S.,
writes that at last they have railway connection with the outside
world, and the prospects for the town are brighter than for many
years. The people have added to the efficiency and attractiveness
of the church, and along several lines have made advancement-
Rev. S. W. Anthony is in Milton, but has received a call to
Union St. Church, St. John, N.B., which he is prayerfully con-
sidering. The union of Milton with Liverpool under one pastor
is desirable, and has been the object of your committee for some
years, and the way seems clearer now for such a consummation.
Chebogue, so long in the care of the Society, but now self-
supporting through the bequest of the late Capt. Kelley, is losing
its pastor, Rev. W. E. Baker, who has accepted a call to Cowans-
ville, Que., which was rendered vacant by the removal of Rev.
W. H. Watson to the State of Vermont.
Yarmouth Church has a temporary arrangement with Rev.
W. H. G. Temple, D.D., which may be terminated at any time.
These two churches have no connection with our Society as to
assistance, but mention of their circumstances is in place in our
survey of the cause in the Maritime Provinces.
80 CONGREGATIONAL. YEAR BOOK.
The three churches in the Quebec District which are under
the direction of your committee are well manned and give hope-
ful report. Some changes have occurred during the year. Ayre's
Cliff parted with Eev. C. S. Pedley and secured the services of
the Eev. Churchill Moore, who returns to his old field.
Rev. J. J. Hutchinson has taken the pastorate of Fitch Bay,
and is going into the work with energy. We shall hear good
news from Fitch Bay.
Point St. Charles has had a good year of ingathering. Sixty-
two by profession of faith and eighteen by letter during the year,
making eighty additions to the church, and since the beginning
of the year members are being added at every communion season.
The Sunday School is the largest Congregational Sunday School
in Montreal, having three hundred and fifty on the roll.
A valuable site has been secured for a new church building,
which is a pressing necessity for successful work in that growing
part of the city.
Franklin Centre while receiving no grant at present is in
charge of Mr. Geo. S. Gervan, one of our students, and the people
greatly enjoy his ministery.
Ottawa Zion shows a good year's work. A reduced grant is
asked for this year, they will soon be self-supporting. An ad-
vance movement is in evidence there. Sixteen families are in
the southern suburb of the city, a part that will soon be included
in the city limits, who are in connection with the church. It is
felt that they will be lost to the church if something is not done
to hold them, as the distance is too great for children to attend
Sunday School.
The Executive Committees of the two churches, the First
and Zion, met in consultation and concluded that some step
must be taken at once ; so a very desirable site was secured which
will cost $1,025.
Calvary, Kingston. Eev. Herbert D. Whitmore, who a few
months ago took charge, shows earnest effort to reach non-church-
goers, and with great success. Not many churches show better
results in leading to the Saviour those that are too often neg-
lected in our cities. "We all rejoice with the three Kingston
churches in the happy settlement of their pastors.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 81
Cobourg and Cold Springs field sends a cherry report, and
asks for a reduced grant. Through a liberal outlay, by the
people, the church buildings are in a good condition, and a
good parsonage in secured, and nearly free from debt. This
field will soon be again self-sustaining.
Bowmanville is again without a pastor. Rev. Wm, Hip-
kin after three years of good work has accepted a call to the
church in Barrie, which church has done well in putting their
property into thorough repair, and the people are hopeful, enjoy-
ing the services of their new pastor.
Alton also reports a good year. A parsonage has been
secured, with only a small debt on it. The church building is in
the best of repair. Confidence is established. The pastor
writes: "No talk now of closing the church." Several legacies
have come to the Society from the church in Alton.
Parkdale, Ont. Rev. Geo. A. Lowes, our evangelist, was
called to the pastorate and has been in charge since November,
Mr. Stacey having resigned. The cause was in a serious condi-
tion, but Mr. Lowes is hopeful of growth.
Stratford. Mr. Gerrie writes : ' ' Stratford presents its list of
encouragements and discouragements, with the former in the
ascendency." The discouragements come from business depres-
sion and removals of some of the best workers to larger centres,
especially Toronto; not a few having gone within the last few
months. Toronto thus reaps from the weaker churches. But the
business depression is lessening, and the town is growing in
population. A strong Y.P.S.C.E. Society has been formed; also
a Ladies' Auxiliary Missionary Society. Both are vigorously
at work. Twenty members have been added to the church on
profession of faith, while important and much-needed improve-
ments have been made to the property.
On the whole Stratford presents a good report.
Howick sends a report this year. Rev. Robert St. Clair, pas-
tor of the Listowel U. B. Church, is working up the cause and
the results are encouraging.
Howick is fifteen miles from Listowel, so it incurs heavy
work to keep up the services. Mr. St. Clair is acceptable to the
S2 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
people and is gathering a congregation which had scattered.
There is a church building which is deeded to the Missionary
Society. A small grant is needed, as the outlay for livery hire is
large.
This old church that has sent three men into the Christian
ministry ought not to be neglected.
Woodstock, Ont. Rev. C. S. Pedley was settled in Wood-
stock last fall. The church was somewhat run down, but Mr.
Pedley 's thoughtful ministry is having good effect. A grant for
a year or two is needed to help the church to get on its feet
again.
Important as is the work in what is called "Old Canada"
the rush westward carries us out beyond the Great Lakes to that
goodly inheritance and awful responsibility.
Brandon sends a report of steady growth. A parsonage has
been obtained which is a necessity in the town, as houses are
hard to get. The terms are such that the church is quite able to
meet the payments. Rev. T. A. Munro acts as our Missionary
Superintendent in the North- West and grows in influence in the
Town of Brandon. The church is reducing the grant and in-
creasing its contributions to the Society.
Saltcoats' report is not yet to hand. The ground is being
held, but no great growth has been made in the past year; yet
our Welsh brethren are having the Gospel preached to them.
Rev. W. T. Morris is the pastor. His time is divided between his
farming operations and his pastoral cares. This field needs
strengthening by being put on another basis.
Splendid pioneer work is being done at Duck Lake by Dr.
Ralph, and at Rosetta by Rev. E. A. Cooke, who is taking a
course in our College. Both these fields are in the Province of
Saskatchewan. Foundations are being laid out there for the com-
ing generations. Instead of these two in that wide district, we
ought to have a score of men to meet the incoming thousands of
needy souls.
Wetaskiwin and Lewisville, Alta., under the pastorate of
Rev. G. A. Sanden, who is with us at this meeting, shows im-
provement. The people are improving their social and financial
condition, and are supporting the cause.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 83
Highland Park and Meeting Creek are under the care of
Rev. B. H. Persen.
Vancouver, B.C. Two sites have been purchased at the out-
lay of $2,900 in the most eligible parts of the city. Temporary
buildings will be erected on these sites, very shortly. The care
of these new causes is placed with the churches there, the First
and Knox. The pastors and people are in earnest, and as there
is quite a number of men in the First Church capable of giving
good service, there will be no immediate extra outlay for pastors,
so we hope soon to have four churches in the growing city of
Vancouver.
A similar movement is on in Winnipeg. The Central Church
has formed a "church extension and building society." A site
has been purchased for $4,050 and Rev. Earnest R. Weeks in-
vited to come out and take charge of the extension work. The
Central Church is grandly strong and will push the work in
that great city.
Victoria, B.C., our most western outpost reports through its
pastor, Rev. H. A. Carson, a year of hard work. Victoria is a
beautiful but a conservative city, and rapid progress is not to be
expected; but church and pastor are hopeful.
This is a hasty glance over a wide field. We are in a transi-
tion period of our history, and it is not possible to give a full
report of all the work in the brief time at our disposal.
The appointment of Rev. W. T. Gunn to the position of
Superintendent, although he may not use that name, is showing
the wisdom of the step taken last year. His work is not confined
to the aided churches, but to the whole sisterhood, for all at some
time need counsel and help ; yet his oversight of the Missionary
Churches is just what was needed. He deserves our heartiest
support, and needs our most earnest prayers.
The Executive Committee appropriated a small grant to the
work of immigration, and were fortunate enough to secure the
services of Rev. Frank J. Day for a time. The venture has been
successful beyond our most sanguine expectations.
The thanks of the Society are due to the Colonial Missionary
Society for their continuous and generous assistance in our
work; for the strong men they have sent to visit us, and bring
84 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
their brotherly greetings ; also for the reception given to those of
our representative men who have had the privilege of visiting
the Old Land and coming into closer touch with the English
Congregational Churches.
The thanks of the Society are also due to the C. C. W. B. M.
for the generous appropriation from their funds towards our
home work, and their deep sympathy with us in our forward
movement.
The year has been one in a measure quiet, yet solid work has
been done. Our Missionary pastors have given a good account
of themselves; steady, faithful, energetic. Would we had
more of them, and the means to give them adequate support. The
call now is urgent and imperative. It is not your committee
that calls, but the needy fields; the lads and lassies who have
gone from our homes and are on the border line of our Canadian
civilization; our brothers from across the sea, from England,
Scotland and Ireland, citizens of the same great empire ; as well
as great multitudes from the continental nations of Europe,
many of whom know nothing of civil and religious liberty, and
the great responsibility which it involves. This is the material
that is given to us out of which to build a nation. But high
above all comes to you and me, the call of our Lord and Master,
a truly imperative call it is. Shall we not hear it to-day as we
never heard it before, and, instead of bemoaning our weakness
and poverty, as too often we have done, arise in His might, lay
hold of the riches He has placed at our disposal, and do all that
He expects of us?
All of which is respectfully submitted.
W. McIntosh,
Secretary.

EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY'S REPORT.
During the year your Secretary has attended the meetings
of the Canada Congregational Missionary Society Executive and
reported the proceedings in the Canadian Congregationalist,
edited the Home Missionary number of the Congregationalist,
supervised the printing and mailing of 8,000 circulars and an
equal number of envelopes presenting the claims of the C.C.M.S.
in view of the annual offering.
In December an appeal was made to the Sunday Schools of
the denomination for a Sunday School Christmas Gift to the
Home Missionary work. About 7,000 envelopes, and a circular
to each Pastor and Superintendent were sent out to over one
hundred schools, forty schools responded. The total gift being
$249.78. One thousand dollars was asked. We did not get it.
The result, however, was gratifying and suggestive. "We have
rich, undeveloped resources in our Sunday Schools.
Circulars also have been mailed to Pastors and Secretaries
of churches in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British
Columbia, asking for short historic sketches of each church, that
these might appear in the Congregationalist, and, if approved
by the executive, be printed in pamphlet form. Four of the
Western pastors have responded. Three of these sketches have
been printed, the fourth will soon appear.
The Secretary appealed to the friends of the Home Mis-
sionaries and the Congregationalist to send the paper to the men
at work in Home Mission fields, thus making the bond of fellow-
ship stronger through our weekly paper. In response Maxville
C. E. has contributed two subscriptions, Granby C. E. two.
Much more might be done through this office if the officer
could afford the time, but a busy pastor cannot afford to spend
more of his time in clerical work.
The following work would be valuable : —
First: Get out short historic sketches and prospect of each
church in the West. These sketches would furnish needed material
for Home Missionary meetings in our churches in the East, and
quicken interest in the work.
86 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Second: Prepare a Home Missionary service for our Sunday
Schools, and Y. P. S., in which the work of the C. C. M. S.
would be brought before them in a systematic way.
Third : Make a wider use of pamphlets on Congregationalism,
such as "Congregational Faith and Practice," Dr. Anderson;
' ' Congregationalists, who they are and what they do, ' ' Prudden ;
''For what does Congregationalism stand," Bridgman. These
and others may be purchased from the Pilgrim Press, Boston.
A valuable series of pamphlets on Home Missionary work in
United States may be obtained from the Congregational Home
Missionary Society, 4th Ave. and 22nd St., New York.
Your Secretary believes valuable work can be done through
this office, but work means time and money. It would be well
spent.
Respectfully submitted,
J. Lambert Alexander,
Educational Secretary.

REPORT OF IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT C. C. M. S.
TO JUNE 30th, 1907.
This department of the work of the Society had its origin in
a desire on the part of the Executive to provide some way of
welcoming Congregational Immigrants, and introducing them
at once to our churches. The work of inaugurating and develop-
ing the plan was accordingly committed to the present super-
intendent.
REV. F. J. DAY, M.A., B.D., Montreal,
Immigration, re C. C. M. Society.
After a preliminary investigation at the port of Quebec, it
was decided that the superintendent should spend the summer
there in further study of the whole question, with the special
purpose of ascertaining the volume of Congregational immigra-
tion, and discovering how best to render assistance and help to
the new comers.
7
bO CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
The results, up to the time of writing this report, have been
of a most satisfactory character, and such as to demonstrate most
clearly the advisibility of making the movement permanent.
The work has been done in co-operation with representatives
of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches with most happy
results, and it has already become^ evident that the future
development of the plan will be most successful as this co-opera-
tive idea is steadily adhered to. Not only are the results better
for all concerned, but the moral effect upon the immigrants of
this evidence of church union will be most valuable in the pre-
sent stage of church life in Canada. An office in the Immigra-
tion Buildings has been placed at the disposal of the representa-
tives by the Dominion Superintendent of Immigration and free-
dom of access to all landing stages granted.
Methods of work are as yet somewhat experimental and are
being constantly revised and changed. The aim is to meet as
far as possible the second and third class passengers, the former
on board ship, and the latter in the Immigration Building — to
provide them with cards of introduction to ministers, informa-
tion about churches, etc., and give any counsel and advice that
may be desired, but especially to guide and direct young men
and women who are without relations or friends in this country.
The results are not easy to tabulate, but the individual cases of
assistance and counsel given have already been sufficient in
themselves to .justify the movement.
Up to June 30th the results, in figures as far as the Congre-
gational Churches are concerned are as follows: —
Number of Congregationalists met 610
Number of these going to Winnipeg and points
west of that 164
Number remaining in the East 446
Numbers going to important centres as follows: —
Toronto 150
Montreal 84
Winnipeg 51
Edmonton 14
Calgary 19
From the above figures it is evident that, contrary to general
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 89
expectation, the majority of Congregational Immigrants (73%)
are remaining in the East, and only 27% are going to western
points. The returns of the Methodist church show almost exactly
the same figures.
It is of interest also to note that of the above number only
192 (31%) were going to places where there are no Congrega-
tional churches. Thus despite the small number of our churches
in the Dominion, we ought to be able to hold a large percentage
of the newcomers in our own work, provided they are heartily
welcomed and enlisted in active service at once.
As to the future of this work, it is expected that as methods
are perfected, the results will be still more satisfactory and a
larger number of Congregationalists will be met. At present it
is impossible to cover the whole ground, and many have doubt-
less passed through Quebec without being interviewed by our
representative. The attaining of the end in view will be greatly
facilitated as the plan becomes known in England and Scotland.
Previous notice sent to the superintendent of the departure of
Congregationalists stating ship and class by which they intend
to travel would be of great service.
The present arrangement will continue until the end of
August. After that the superintendent takes up pastoral work in
Montreal, but will continue the oversight of the department, and
will make plans for meeting the need in some way during the
winter months at St. John and Halifax.
The work is at present only in its initial stage, but it is
hoped that the general results may be of such a character that
funds will be provided for making it permanent. Detailed re-
ports will appear in the Canadian Congregationalist from time to
time.

TREASURER'S REPORT.
The Treasurer's statements for the year, duly audited,
are herewith presented.
It is pleasant to note from these that there has been on the
average a considerable increase in the receipts.
In view, however, of the work which the Executive Com-
mittee has inaugurated in the North- West, in accordance with the
desire expressed at the last annual meeting, there will require
to be a more general interest taken in the work by all sections of
the Dominion if we are to accomplish it at all satisfactorily.
The analysis of church receipts for the General Mission Fund
shows that while there was a decrease from the Western and
Eastern districts of Ontario, the increase from the Central dis-
trict overcame this, and left an increase of $15 for the Province
of Ontario for the year. Quebec increased by $122, while the
Maritime Provinces decreased by $42.
In all the provinces combined the net increase for the year has
been $285. For the new North- West work, apart from the special
gift of $4,812 from Mrs. F. Scholes, of Montreal, there has been
received from ' ' A Friend ' ' $500 ; $457 from Sunday Schools and
Churches; $15 from individuals, and $196 from the C. C.
Women's Board of Missions.
The following amounts were received after the books were
closed: Waterville, $44.35; Brantford, $63.15; Middleville,
$11.50; Hopetown, $6.70; Rosetta, $5.70.
The hearty thanks of the Society are due, as usual, to our
good friends of the Colonial Missionary Society for their gener-
ous financial aid.

MINUTES OF ANNUAL MEETING.
The Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting of the Canada Congrega-
tional Foreign Missionary Society was held in the First Congre-
gational Church, Hamilton, Ont., on Thursday afternoon, June
6th, 1907. Rev. T. Bradley Hyde, the President, occupied the
chair, and after prayer and the singing of a hymn, Mr. Charles
Duff was appointed Minute Secretary. The President in a brief
address referred to the Layman's Missionary movement, the
Robert Morrison Centennial, and the Student Volunteer Move-
ment, and found much reason for encouragement in connection
with all missionary work. Reports were then presented as fol-
lows: Secretary's report by Rev. D. S. Hamilton, B.A. ; Trea-
surer's report by Mr. H. W. Barker (read by Rev. A. F. Pol-
lock, B.D.) ; Young People's Department and Mission Study
Classes by Mr. E. C. Austin ; Prayer Union by Miss F. B. Raw-
lings. The reports were adopted on motion of Mr. S. P. Leet,
seconded by Rev. C. C. Claris.
The President suggested the need of changing the time for
taking the foreign missionary offerings in the churches on the
re-arranging of the plan of taking "offerings for denominational
objects" in such a way as to avoid the making of appeals too
close together. On motion of Mr. H. Yeigh, seconded by Rev. C.
Pedley, it was resolved ' ' That it is our purpose to use every pos-
sible means in our power to increase the gifts of the churches to
meet the needs of the work in Africa and that we ask the execu-
tive to put into effect some plan whereby this object may be
attained. ' '
It was further resolved on motion of Rev. J. K. Unsworth,
B.A., seconded by Rev. Mr. Villiers, "That a committee of five
Laymen be appointed to retire and draw up a plan for raising
money in connection with foreign missionary work and that
they present such plan at a later stage of this meeting. ' ' Amongst
the members of the committee named were Messrs. Geo. Wilson,
H. Yeigh, H. B. Donovan and Charles Duff. On the retirement
of the committee the following resolution moved by Rev. Geo.
Ellery Read, and seconded by Rev. H. I. Horsey, was unanim-
ously carried : ' ' That we renew our expression of confidence in
110 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
the splendid work inaugurated by our beloved Dr. W. T. Currie
and now continued under his direction by our church's represen-
tatives in the "West Central African Missions, and we further
pledge ourselves to support them loyally in every way possible
as they seek to realize the ideal of our Lord and Master in
making known the message of His love to our brethren in Chis-
amba and the connected stations."
Dr. Currie in response to this resolution thanked the brethren
for their expression of confidence and gave a brief outline of
plans for future work.
The special committee of Laymen, re plan for raising funds,
reported by presenting the following resolution moved by Mr.
Yeigh, seconded by Mr. Geo. Wilson: "We recommend that the
financial requirements of the C. C. F. M. S. (amount due Ameri-
can Board, $3,700; required for general expenses, $4,000; first
year forward movement, $2,300, total, $10,000) be fully pre-
sented to the churches and an allotment be made showing the
amount required from each church to meet this need, and that
this statement be sent to both pastor and secretary."
"We also recommend the securing of pledges for systematic
giving in each church, also that pledges be taken at this meeting
from delegates." After some discussion as to the force of the
allotment and an explanation that it would simply be the indicat-
ing of a standard which the churches would earnestly strive to
reach, the recommendations of the committee were adopted. The
members of the special committee further reported that they had
l>egan to pledge subscriptions as follows : Geo. Wilson, for
Western Church, Toronto, $300; H. B. Donovan, for Parkdale
'Church, $50 ; H. Yeigh, for Brantf ord Church, $150, and Charles
Duff, for Hamilton First Church, $150. Other delegates were
airged to continue the list.
On motion of Rev. W. T. Gunn, in accordance with a notice
of motion previously. given, it was decided to change articles III.
and V. of the Constitution to read, ' ' Union of Canada, ' ' instead
of "Union of Ontario and Quebec," as at present.
Officers and directors were then elected for the ensuing year
and after the pronouncing of the benediction by the President
the meeting adjourned.
Charles Duff,
Minute Secretary.

SUMMARY OF THE SECRETARY'S REPORT.
The Secretary's report reviewed the work of the Executive
during the year, referred to the progress made at Chisamba, and
urged the necessity for advanced effort. The committee acknowl-
edged the great help Rev. W. T. Currie. B.A., D.D.. had been
in the various meetings held during the year and heartily con-
gratulated him upon the honors he had received from the Con-
gregational College. The work accomplished in the West Central
African field in which we are particularly interested may be
seen, said the report, as we note the change amongst a heathen
people with whom Rev. Mr. Currie began to labor over twenty
years ago and where we find to-day "seven missionaries and
twenty-one native helpers. A parish numbering 25,000 people.
Two chapel buildings and one regular church with 147 com-
municants and 2,000 adherents and an average attendance of
1.000. Sunday schools with a total of 850 members. In eight
schools there are 410 boys and 350 girls, of whom twenty-five
united with the church last year. Chisamba is counted as one of
the best stations the American Board has anywhere in the
world." Besides all this a vast area" remained untouched in the
adjoining districts and a great opportunity is presented at the
present time as the people would welcome the work and teaching
that so changed Chisamba.
The appointment of Dr. and Mrs. Cammack was recorded
with satisfaction and their early arrival on the field, it was said,
would bring joy to the hearts of the faithful little band of
workers who had so loyally borne the burden during the past
year. Regret was expressed at the delay in appointing an indus-
trial missionary, but owing to the difficulty of securing a man
possessed of the necessary qualifications who could go, and owing
also to the state of the finances it was thought best to postpone
action in the matter.
The courtesy and kindness of the American Board, manifested
by the sending of Mr. Woodside to the Chisamba station to help
in the absence of Mr. Currie, was gratefully acknowledged.
Great gratification was expressed at the cordial reception
tendered Dr. Currie by the United Brethren Churches and hearty
appreciation of the generous response to Mr. Currie 's appeals
was placed on record.
112 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
The report concluded with a reference to the hopeful reports
to be presented by the officers of the various departments and
urged the churches to strongly support Dr. Currie and his fel-
low workers in their effort to carry through the important plans
for advanced work.
D. S. Hamilton,
Secretary.
DEPARTMENT OF PRAYER UNION, 1906-1907.
Ten years ago the Prayer Union was organized to secure for
Africa, and particularly West Central Africa, definite and
united prayer.
Our membership consists of Christian friends who willingly
become intercessors in behalf of our work and workers in Africa.
No time is set for prayer, but daily prayer is suggested. There
is a fee of ten cents to cover cost of card and postage. We now
have three hundred and twenty-five members. There ought to be
more. These are scattered throughout our churches in Canada,
a few in England, Scotland, Turkey and among our workers in
Africa.
We also find that in many of our churches a regular prayer
meeting for missions is held, that in fact the majority of churches
where our members are such meetings for prayer are being held.
We would like to say that of every church in Canada, for then
we know that there would be an increase in workers and givers.
We believe that the work has been blessed because of this
union. Our missionaries look to us to uphold their hands in
their labors by prayer. We know that to us has been given a
greater love for the work.
We would invite you all to join us in this blessed service at
the Throne of Grace. Let us as followers of Christ resolve to
prove the efficacy of prayer for this our work in hastening the
coming of the Kingdom of our Lord.
Your Superintendent has written many letters; used our.
papers, "Congregationalists*' and "Leaflet" for appeals, also by
personal efforts secured new members.
The above is respectfully submitted.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF WORK FOR YEAR ENDING MAY 31, 1907.
According to statistics in our last year book the total
membership of our Young People's Societies appears to be about
1,500, while in our Sunday Schools there is enrolled an army of
over 6,600 scholars.
Believing that the field for cultivation by this department
includes all the young people of our churches, an effort has been
made to draw the attention of our superintendents and teachers
to the fact, that a relationship exists between the Young People's
Department of our Foreign Missionary Society and our Sunday
Schools. Two circular letters have been addressed to superin-
tendents of our schools throughout Canada. In these mention
has been made of the new value and importance attaching to the
matter of missionary instruction in the Sunday Schools. To-
gether with the above letters there have been sent lists of books,
programmes, object lessons and other Sunday School missionary
material prepared by the Young People's Missionary movement.
It was suggested that this matter should be discussed at the next
teacher's meeting and a book entitled "Missions in the Sunday
Schools" was recommended, containing outlines of methods of
work. There has also been sent to each superintendent a very
concise and helpful pamphlet prepared by Mr. H. W. Hicks, of
the American Board entitled "The Sunday School teacher as a
missionary leader."
At the First Canadian Conference of the Young People's Mis-
sionary movement held at Whitby, Ont., last July, there were
present ten Congregational delegates, representing six of our
sixty churches in Ontario. Three of these were volunteers for
foreign missionary service, one having become such during
attendance at the conference.
Active and practical interest is already being taken in the
work of this department by pastors, Sunday School superintend-
ents, and other workers in the United Brethren Churches. Letters
have been addressed to these, relative to the promoting of an
intelligent interest in our work in West Central Africa amongst
their young people.
114 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
A few personal visits have been made by the writer to young
people's societies, ' Sunday schools and churches, both in and out
of Toronto, and addresses given on various phases of missionary
work.
Three new mission study classes have been organized, and
one re-organized with a total membership of thirty-one.
A marked increase has taken place in the circulation of mis-
sionary literature and material. Last year the sales, outside of
our book — The Story of Chisamba — amounted to only $2.02. For
the year ending May 31, 1907, these sales have reached a total
of about $53.00.
It is a regret to the writer to have to leave the work at its
present stage. The results apparent on the surface may seem
very meagre, but the possibilities contained in it are such as to
warrant a faithful and persistent continuance of the efforts
already put forth.
E. C. Austin,
Secretary.
TREASURER'S REPORT.
The printed report which is before you shows that this year's
income has been $5,146.66, of which $4,162.33 was for the Regu-
lar Fund. This is the largest amount we have ever received in
one year apart from legacies, and is an increase of nearly $1,000
over last year's figures.
Every province has reported larger amounts than before,
Ontario having increased $640, Quebec $330, Maritime Provinces
$200 and the Western Provinces $130. Ninety-eight churches
have shared in the giving, as against eighty-one in our last report.
There have been, we might say, two special reasons for this
increased interest, viz.. Mr. Currie's visit to the churches, and
the coming into our ranks of the United Brethren, whom we
welcome most heartily.
An analysis of the returns shows that the three churches which
headed the list last year have maintained their record and are
again found on top and in the same relative positions. First
comes the Northern, Toronto, with $519, an increase of $63 for
the year. Well done. Northern ! Calvary, Montreal, comes second
with $473. an increase of $115. This is excellent, The Northern
CANADA FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 115
will have to look out next year. Emmanuel, Montreal, comes in
third with $207, which is $13 behind last year's amount. But
now there is a change. The great cities of Winnipeg and Hamil-
ton, which came next on the list, have allowed little Maxville to
beat them. Where is Maxville? Why, this is the little Glen-
garry church which taught us how to give for the Jubilee Fund.
Hamilton First did exceedingly well with $165 ($55 more than
last year), but little Maxville slipped ahead while they were
not looking and reached $190! How did they do it? We do not
know, but we know that if every church gave proportionately
we would soon reach that $10,000 mark which we are aiming at.
Thank God for Maxville ! Yarmouth, away down by the sea, has
done remarkably well by increasing its gifts from $96 last year
to $171 this. And Stouffville, that church which was reported
to have died some time ago, shows itself to be very much alive
by sending in $137. Then follows Bond St., Toronto, with $134,
an increase of 1310% over last year. This is the kind of increase
we like. Next we find Melbourne, with $130, more than five
times as much as last year's giving. Truly, the missionary
spirit is getting possession of our churches. Another little
church which must have met "The Man from Glengarry" is
Milton, Nova Scotia, which contributed $129. There are three
reasons for this, — the Union met there last summer, Mr. Currie
has been with them, and they have their own representative at
Chisamba in the person of Miss Bell. Behold what a church
of only forty-three members can do ! Sherbrooke follows with a
few cents less than Milton, having jumped in one year from
$75 to $129. The other churches sending over $100 are Winni-
peg Central, $125, Guelph, $123, Danville, $109, and Granby,
$104. This is exceedingly encouraging.
We are glad to welcome to our list this year Brandon and
the two Vancouver churches, besides a number of churches in the
East. Among these latter we might mention our new church at
Lawrence, members formerly Presbyterian, which sends in $71.
They have been well brought up.
We have been very fortunate this year in having Mr. and
Mrs. Currie free to visit the churches and give first-hand inform-
ation concerning the progress of the work. It is largely owing
to this that the giving has shown such an increase. We feel
sure that "the inspiration of their visit will remain after they
116 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
have once more gone forward to take up the work on the field.
Now for the other side of the story. Our expenses this year
have been exceptionally large and our staff at the station has
been very small. The Moffats have come home, and we have had
their travelling expenses as well as a year's furlough allowance
to pay. Mr. Woodside's salary while relieving at the station
has also been met by the Society, and Mr. and Mrs. Currie have,
of course, received their allowance. Moreover, Dr. and Mrs.
Cammack have had to be outfitted and given a special medical
course in England. This has all meant that in spite of the large
increase in gifts our debt to the American Board has increased
from $2,000 to $3,700. The expenses this coming year will be
large again, and if the work is to be extended as it should be
our income should be increased to $10,000. Let us make this
our aim, and, if we do, with God's help we shall attain it.
Respectfully submitted.

MINUTES OF THE UNION.
Margaree, July 11, 1907.
The Sixtieth Annual Meeting of the Congregational Union of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick was held with the Congrega-
tional Church at Margaree, C.B., on July 11, 1907, at 9 a.m.
The first half hour was occupied with prayer and praise led
Try Rev. J. W. Cox, Secretary. The Scripture reading was in Ps.
103. After which the opening sermon was preached by Rev.
Robert Barron from Romans 12:11, "Not slothful in business;
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord."
At 10 a.m. the chair was taken by the Secretary, Rev. Mr. Cox,
in absence of Rev. W. S. Pritchard, B.D., chairman. A letter
was read from Mr. Pritchard tendering his resignation, which
was accepted.
Rev. R. Barron was appointed Minute Secretary; and Revds.
I. A. Rose, S. J. Wilson and Mr. J. W. Flewelling nominating
committee.
The Sessional Roll was then called.
The nominating committee recommended that Rev. S. W.
Anthony, of Milton, N.S., be appointed as chairman to fill the
office until January 1, 1909. Adopted. Rev. Mr. Anthony was
then conducted to the chair by the secretary and at once entered
upon the duties of his office. The following committees were
then appointed : —

CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF N.S. AND N.B. 131
New Members — Rev. David A. Armstrong, pastor of the Con-
gregational Church of Kingsport, N.S., was received into the
membership of the Union in the usual way.
Rev. W. T. Gunn, M.A., B.D., of Toronto, in his usual happy
manner brought the greetings of the Congregational Union of
Canada.
The Secretary, Eev. J. W. Cox, then read his annual report
which was interesting inasmuch as it showed considerable mater-
ial progress in the churches; and in several of them quite an
increase of membership.
Lower Selmah had purchased a comfortable parsonage with
convenient outbuildings with about sixty acres of land attached.
Margaree has added woodshed and other necessary outbuild-
ings to its already comfortable and home-like parsonage. Pleas-
ant River has completed the renovations begun last year upon the
parsonage and has now a minister's home with all up-to-date
accessories.
Keswick Ridge has expended about $900 upon extensive im-
provements and repairs on the interior of the church. With the
exception of three all the churches are now free of debt.
Noel and Economy as the result of special evangelistic ser-
vices held by Rev. Mr. Barron, have received a number of new
members and have been quickened greatly.
Reports from the churches were then read which were all
more or less hopeful and encouraging.
At 11 a.m. Rev. I. A. Rose read a paper on "The Local
Church ; its relation to the growing needs of the present age. ' r
It was well received and was followed by an interesting dis-
cussion.
Thursday, 2.30 P.M.
Letters of Transfer were asked for by Rev. L. A. Edwards,
of Cleveland, 0., and Rev. W, S. Pritchard, B.D., of Spokane,
Wash. They were granted.

ing for the College was taken. At this meeting the following
resolutions were moved by the Special Resolutions Committee

CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF N.S. AND N.B. 137
THE COLLEGE.
Resolved, that as a Union we very much regret the inability
of the Rev. Principal Hill of our College to be present as ex-
pected and arranged for; but that hearing through his letter and
Rev. Mrs. Gunn the good news of increasing numbers of con-
secrated young men being about to enter upon the course of study
in preparation for work in our Dominion, we desire to renew our
expression of hearty accord with the spirit and aims of the Con-
gregational College of Canada as being a well manned institu-
tion of instruction for the ministry and a developer of true man-
hood, and as such we would commend it to the Christian youth of
our churches, to the prayers of our people and to their con-
secrated gifts.
THE UNITED BRETHREN ASSOCIATION OF CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.
Resolved, that the Congregational Union of N.S. and N.B.
sends greeting to the United Brethren of Congregational
Churches of Ontario and most cordially welcomes this new Asso-
ciation to our Christian fellowship, praying for spiritual bless-
ings upon our united forces, for the bringing of Canada to
Christ, and to aid in the spiritual conquest of the world.
KINGSPORT.
Resolved, that having learned with great satisfaction of the
happy settlement of a pastor at Kingsport, we would herewith
send congratulations to our brethren and sisters there ; together
with prayer for the upholding by them of their pastor's hands
and for a truly spiritual ingathering on that old historic field.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
That whereas for the first time in its history the Congrega-
tional Union of N.S. and N.B. meets in the Island of Cape Bre-
ton in far east Margaree.

tional Church of St. John's, Newfoundland, and to the churches
and Christian workers in other parts of the colony. A letter

133 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
church in St. Johns, full of expressions of brotherly sympathy
and from other sources having come to know of the devotion to
the cause of Christ of our brethren and of their self-sacrificing
efforts for the Blessed Master in so many of those needy out-
posts of the colony. It is our earnest wish and heartfelt prayer
that in the Providence of God the way may be speedily opened
for closer fellowship between them and us.
TEMPERANCE.
Whereas the drink evil within the bounds of the Union and
this Canada of ours' is, as it ever was, detrimental to the home,
the worst enemy of the state and the Church of God; Resolved,
that we hold it to be the bounden duty of our ministers to preach
and labor against it; that our churches continue to wage unceas-
ing war against it; that all our church members and adherents
be urged to abstain altogether from the use of all intoxicants as a
beverage ; and that all our people work and pray and VOTE
with a view of obtaining prohibition, municipal, provincial and
national; that we ever protest against any compromise with the
powers of evil that are in league with the drink traffic; and that
we will not rest until the saloon, the unmitigated curse of our
land, be banished altogether from our cities, our towns and vil-
lages and Canada be forever delivered from the deadly blight of
the destroyer.
CONDOLENCE.
Whereas this Union has heard .with deep regret of the decease
of the Eev. Simeon Sykes, our faithful fellow worker in. these
Maritime Provinces, for over forty years :
Resolved, that we extend to our bereaved sister, Mrs. Sykes,
and to Miss Sykes, and also to the absent members of the family,
our heartfelt sympathy. As we consider our departed brother's
joyful trust in God, his abundant labors in the Master's cause, as
also the keen bodily sufferings of his later months, our sorrow
is mingled with joy at his blessed release, to hear His Master's
"Well done, good and faithful servant: Enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord."
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF N.S. AND N.B. 139
Also, during the past year death has visited many of our
churches and removed brothers and sisters; faithful members
and office bearers of those churches ; some of whom have for
many years taken a deep interest in our Union and were wont
to share in our exalted fellowship, namely, Deacon Andrew M.
Crow and Nicholas Densmore, Treasurer of the church in Noel;
Oliver Morrison, Secretary of Economy Church; Mrs. Capt.
Dunlop, of Liverpool, mother-in-law of Rev. G. W. Ball; Mrs.
Ruth Nickerson, of Milton; Mrs. Stephen Philips, of Margaree;
Miss Fowler, of St. John and others. Resolved, that we place
on record this expression of the great loss we have sustained
and tender herewith our heartfelt sympathy to the relatives and
churches of those promoted brethren and sisters in their sad
bereavement, praying that He who comforteth all who mourn,
may bestow on them and us the blessing of His Divine consola-
tion— giving us grace to go forward as followers of the Christ
and of them who through Faith and Patience inherit the
Promises.
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.
Whereas the Congregational Union now in session at Mar-
garee has been much helped and our meetings benefited by the
appropriate music that has been rendered at all the services:
Resolved, that we express our thanks for the same to the
organist, violinist, soloists, quartet and all those who so ably and
efficiently have taken part in the service of song.
That, our Union has been materially benefited by reduced
railway, steamboat and hotel rates, and that we hereby express
our appreciation and gratitude for the same. And that we also
thank our esteemed and efficient Secretary, Rev. J. W. Cox, for
his energetic, faithful and successful services in arranging for
routes and rates of transportation as well as programme of the
various sessions of the Union.
That our delegates and visitors have been so graciously and
kindly entertained by the hospitable people of the beautiful
valley of Margaree, who have so kindly driven the long distance
to meet us at Baddeck and have brought us safely to our destin-
ation, and whose homes have been so hospitably opened for our
free entertainment.
140 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
That we hereby express our heartfelt thanks to the people of
Margaree, to the pastor, Rev. Samuel J. Wilson, and all who
have so lovingly co-operated with him in making the Union of
1907 one of the very happiest and best of our history.
That we have enjoyed with inexpressible pleasure the pres-
ence of Rev. W. T. Gunn, M.A., B.D., — our beloved pastor at
large — and his esteemed wife, and we hereby express our thanks
to Mr. Gunn for his able and timely addresses as well as the
whole souled interest he has taken in the welfare of our Union.
Sunday Morning.
At 10.30 a large congregation assembled for public worship.
Rev. S. "W. Anthony, of Milton, preached the Union sermon from
Mat. 16 : 18. A spirit enlightened and transformed humanity,
the material with which Christ builds his unconquerable and
indestructible Church. This thought was presented with great
beauty and power.
A hallowed communion service followed, presided over by the
Secretary, Rev. J. W. Cox, assisted by the pastor, Rev. S. J.
Wilson, and Rev. W. T. Gunn. The address of Mr. Gunn at the
"Table of our Lord" will not soon be forgotten by those who
remembered that day their Lord's sin-atoning death. "Fitly
spoken ' ' were those words — indited doubtless by the Master Him-
self— who with power was manifestly present.
At 3 p.m. a mass meeting was held, presided over by the
chairman. The building was completely filled. The meeting
was a great success. After singing ' ' Stand up for Jesus, ' ' prayer
and Scripture reading, an address was delivered by Mr. Chas. E.
MacMichael, of St. John, Treasurer of the Union. His subject
was, "Parents and children, or the Christian Home." He was
followed by Mr. Thos. A. Williams, of Liverpool, who spoke upon
"Our young people, what the church expects of them and their
relation to the social life of the community. ' '
The last address was by Rev. W. T. Gunn, of Toronto, who
spoke with power upon "National Morality, or churches in re-
lation to the Government of this Canada of ours." The privi-
leges and duties of citizenship were specially emphasized, and
as a result all must have felt that it was indeed a great honor
CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF N.S. AND N.B. 141
to be entrusted with a citizen's ballot at such a time as this and
to have a hand in the development and upbuilding of such a
vast commonwealth as ours is destined in the Providence of God
to be.
Sunday Evening.
At 7 p.m. there was an overflowing congregation. The preacher
was Rev. W. T. Gunn. His text, Hebrews 11: 11, "She judged
Him faithful that had promised." The sermon was in the
form of direct personal persuasion on behalf of Him, the coven-
ant-making and covenant-keeping God and Saviour," that all
without exception like the woman of the text might take the Lord
at His word and enter joyfully on a life of loving trust.
At the close of the sermon there was held a closing consecrat-
ion service led by Rev. J. W. Cox, of Truro. It was a season of
blessing. There were very many touching personal testimonies,
and at the close of the meeting it was a glorious sight to see so
many young men and women with the older members of our
churches standing on their feet, thereby pledging themselves to
the loving service of Christ. After singing the hymn "0 Jesus
I have promised," "God be with you till we meet again," and
prayer by Rev. Mr. Gunn, the Congregational Union of N.S.
and N.B. adjourned to meet in July, 1908, where the Interim
Committee shall decide.

MINUTES OF ANNUAL MEETING, JUNE 7th, 1907. '
The annual meeting of the Congregational College was duly-
called to order by the Rev. Principal Hill, D.D. On motion,

Villiers, minute secretary. After the singing of a hymn, Rev.
Dr. Schofield led in prayer.
On agreement, "the minutes of the previous annual meeting
were taken as read."

the College for the year, presented by Rev. William Mcintosh.
2. That of the Senate, presented also by Rev. William
Mcintosh.

Cushing, who also presented (4) that of the Ladies' Auxiliary.
5. That of the Treasurer presented by Mr. Thos. Moodie.

the excellent administration of the Pollege, and the strong char-
acter of the teaching staff; (3) by Revs. James Pedley, J. G.
Hindley, a graduate of 1907, Revs. J. B. Silcox, C. C. Claris, and
Charles Pedley on the needs and opportunities of the College;

must look for men for training, and that the Churches should
do all that can be reasonably expected of them in this direction.
Mr. Leet, and Rev. R. K. Black spoke upon some general
subjects.
Rev. W. T. Gunn in accordance with a previous notice of
motion, moved an amendment to chapter 1, section 7 to read

Burland, his son, who is one of our Governors, and also through
him to the other bereaved members of his family.

money by sending five young men to take the course of study
in our College in preparation for the ministry in Canada and
assisting them in their expenses.
Principal Hill addressed the meeting on the necessity and
value of special and adequate training of men for successful
ministry and likewise to the same end the progressive profes-
sional training of Theological Professors.

tion of Rev. J. K. Unsworth, spoke on the future relations of
the newly associated Churches to the College.
The meeting adjourned at 4.30.
156 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
To the Corporation of the Congregational College of Canada.
The Board of Governors has pleasure in presenting its
annual report for 1906-7, which includes the reports of the
Senate, Librarian, House Committee, Ladies' Auxiliary, and
Treasurer.
The year has been marked by several events of moment.
The absence of Dr. Warriner upon his year of Sabbathical
lease has been felt in a personal sense. The arrangement of
the work of the classes, however, has been satisfactory and it is
expected that the extra stimulus which Dr. Warriner will have
acquired both in respect to health as well as knowledge, will
more than repay the College and himself for the arrangement.
Dr. Youtz has ably filled the office of acting-registrar.
Drs. Creelman and Youtz were both entrusted by the Pres-
byterian College with the training of their students in their
respective classes. The arrangement was made through the
Board and was in every way satisfactory to Colleges, professors
and students.
It is the hope of the governors that closer affiliations of this
nature may yet be developed upon a permanent basis.
The Board consented to the acceptance by Dr. Creelman of
an acting professorship in McGill University during the past
Session — in the subject of Semitic Languages, our junior stu-
dents being privileged to take their course along with the Uni-
versity students.
The Board recommends that for the present the funds of
the Young People's Lectureship be capitalized, that the inter-
est thereof be used under the direction of the principal for the
purposes of the movement and that the movement in its present
form be closed and the committee discharged with thanks for
their work.
The Board would express appreciation for the many evi-
dences of interest and for the support of the churches — but
would frankly state that there is great need of a larger sense
of responsibility among Congregationalists throughout Canada
towards the one College which is theirs and which they ought
to place upon a sound and progressive basis for all future time.
The retiring governors are Messrs. Chas. R. Black, Chas.
Cushing and Rev. Hugh Pedlev.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OP CANADA. 157
REPORT OF THE SENATE TO THE BOARD OF GOV-
ERNORS OF THE CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE.
Gentlemen : —
In addition to any specific items of our report, we have
great satisfaction in the fact that our students are showing them-
selves to be growing men. This is shown both by the increased
facility for scholarly work, and consequent higher markings;
and also by a general interest aroused for independent reading.
The aim of the faculty has been to teach men how to think,
rather than what to think, and we have been grateful for marked
signs of stimulation in the matter of appreciation of scholarly
work. The faculty is handicapped by the fact that so few of
our students are graduate men; the faculty must therefore do
the awakening legitimately done by an academic course, as well
as contribute special knowledge for theological training. The
great need of the Church is for more of our best young men,
thoroughly trained for the Gospel ministry. If we can get
such men, we believe that the special work of the members of
the faculty will reflect credit upon those who so faithfully
support them.
Our work began last September at the scheduled date. The
session formally opened with public exercises on October 11,"
at which time Prof. Youtz was inducted into the professorship
of systematic theology and philosophy of religion.
The address of the hour was on the subject: "Three Con-
ceptions of God." ,;
Since that time our regular work has proceeded with little
departure from routine.
Prof. Warriner has been greatly missed by us all; but his
foresight had provided for his lecture work in his absence.
His faithful spirit and intimate knowledge of details is an
asset of our work which a well meaning Acting Registrar could
not supply.
We have been cheered by frequent reports of his satisfaction
in his work abroad, as well as by the expectation of his return
in the early summer.
158 CONGREGATIONAL TEAR BOOK.
Dr. Warriner sails for home on 6th June.
Death, by a solemn coincidence, has come to the homes of
four members of our College and taken the mother. First,
Principal Hill was called to Beloit, Wis., to lay away his mother.
Prof. Creelman was summoned in February to Yarmouth, N.S.,
in time to say the sacred last things, and then said ' ' Good-bye, ' '
and within a few weeks, our senior student, Mr. J. G. Hind-
ley and his brother were shocked by a summons to their home
in Fergus, Ont., where the mother had been taken without warn-
ing. Mr. 0. R. Houghton of the second year has also lost his
mother.
A report without reference to the library would be mani-
festly incomplete. We rejoice in several new books and need
ampler funds for present use. It being stated that it was desir-
able that a fund be provided to secure the best magazine litera-
ture in our various departments, so as to be in contact with the
best thought of the day. An offer of $50.00 per annum was
made by Mr. Miner — adequate to this need.
Of the new students for this session, Mr. Spence has done a
creditable year's work with the middle class. We regret that
he has left College without completing his course. He has
been called -to the pastorate of the Embro Church.
We report that Mr. A. E. Cook, of the Junior Class re-
quested immediate ordination for special reasons, but volun-
teered a pledge to complete his College work.
The Faculty placed this minute on record in view of his
written appeal for counsel: "On account of Mr. Cook's age,
maturity, ten years of preaching and organizing work, promise
to complete his College course, peculiar requirements of the
field he is appointed to serve, and the denominational interests
at stake ; we approve of his desire for immediate ordination, ' '
Mr. Cook was ordained at the hands of a council called by Zion
Church of which he was a member.
Of prospective students, it is perhaps early to speak with
definiteness, but the principal is in correspondence with eight
men, including five in England. The outlook is therefore good
for unusual additions to the student body. Mr. R. T. Moodie
has already arrived to take Mr. Davey's work as pastor at Am-
herst Park. He will first complete his Arts course at McGill
and then take the College work with us.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA. 159
We had one man this year in the graduating class, Mr.
J. G. Hindi ey. Mr. Hindi ey's record as student and man among
us should commend him to a high place in our appreciation and
co-operation. In the B.D. course, creditable examinations have
been passed by Messrs. Schrag and Harvey, while Mr. J. G.
Hindley has completed the course. We record with pleasure
that Mr. Hindley has taken the degree of Master of Arts at
McGill, as well as that of Bachelor of Divinity at our own College.
Applications for admission to the B.D. course have been
presented by Rev. J. J. Hutchinson and Rev. G. L. Powell,
Ph.D., and for admission to the course leading to D.D. by Rev.
H. C. Millington, S.T.B.
Professors Creelman and Youtz have each had four hours'
work weekly with the Presbyterian students, during the whole
session. The inspiration of larger classes was keenly felt by
both professors. It has involved some hard work, but no neg-
lect of our own College classes. We regret that emphatic ex-
pressions of appreciation of their work at the Presbyterian Col-
lege have not resulted in a permanent plan of co-operation.
Professor Creelman has also been entrusted with the Hebrew
work at McGill since the death of Prof. Coussirat. This. fact
and the fact that in February he read a paper before the
Religious Education Association in Rochester, N.Y., is a testi-
mony to Dr. Creelman 's attainment in his chosen department.
Regarding College extension work, we have received but
one application this year. This is from Mr. E. H. Peatneld, of
Belwood, whom we have undertaken to help in his studies. Mr.
W. J. Davey has done a creditable year's work as preacher at
Amhurst Park Church, and, has been granted the $165 of the
Mrs. Henry Sanders Mission Fund.
The usual Christmas and Sessional examinations were held
and the results were satisfactory on the whole.
J. G. Hindley finished his course, and passed all his examina-
tions to the satisfaction of the faculty. He received the diploma
of the institution.
He also won the Stevenson Memorial (gold) Medal, his per-
centages averaging 90 per cent, for the year's work.
He has likewise completed all the examinations of the B. D.
course with great credit; and has been granted the degree of
Bachelor of Divinity.
160 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
He has also been awarded one Anderson Bursary of the
value of $30.00 and the Calvary Church Medal.
The other two Anderson Bursaries of $30.00 were granted
to Mr. Davey of the Middle Class, and to Mr. Cooke of the
Junior Class, these two leading their respective classes in per-
centages.
Mrs. Hill having generously renewed her prize of $20.00
for excellence in elocution, it was decided that the Jeanie C.
Hill prize in elocution be divided between Messrs. Spence and
Cooke. i
The awarding of scholarships to Arts students according to
the conditions laid down, was left with the Principal and Regis-
trar as usual since their sessional examinations are not yet
completed.
Respectively submitted by the Acting Registrar.

REPORT OF" LIBRARIAN.
Montreal, April 15, 1907.
The Governors of the Congregational College of Canada.
Gentlemen : —
The following report of the Librarian for the year April
16, 1906, to April 15, 1907, is herewith respectfully submitted.
This year has not been marked by any unusual features
either of special gifts of money or donations of books. The
revenues available for the purchase of books have come from
the two customary sources, viz., the interest on the endowment
of $1,000, and the collections at the opening and closing Con-
vocations of the College.
The following are the Receipts and Disbursements for the
year.
Receipts.
Collections at Convocations, etc $50.25
Interest on Endowment 35.64
$85.89
Disbursements.
$87.39
In addition to the books purchased, 4 vols, have been given
to the Library, the donors being Principal Hill, Rev. E. L
rlerrmance (U.S.) and MeMullen & Co.
Besides these, various publications and reports have been
received from the Royal Society of Canada ; from the Dept,
of the Interior; the Geological Survey of Canada; the Minister
of Education, Toronto, and from the American Board.

HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT.
To the Board of Governors: —
Gentlemen : —
Your Committee would report that the buildings have been
well maintained throughout.
That the steward and stewardess have continued to fulfil
their duties agreeably and well.
That Rev. Principal Hill has been instrumental in promot-
ing harmony and efficiency by his interest and kindly manner.
That the Ladies' Auxiliary has as usual furnished generous
and invaluable assistance to the domestic welfare of the students.
The furnaces were repaired during the year.
Your Committee thought it well to have a portion of the
Principal's residence repainted and papered. The renovation
is a great improvement. The cost (about $200.00) will appear
in next year's statement.
Your Committee does not anticipate any serious outlay dur-
ing the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
Chas. Gurd,
Convener.

REPORT OF THE LADIES' AUXILIARY COMMITTEE.
May 28, 1907.
It is our pleasure to report that during the past year, there
has been some definite work accomplished by the ladies of the
Auxiliary Committee on behalf of the students, and the long
and much neglected Students' Sitting Room.
The deplorable condition of this room and its refurnishing
were taken into earnest consideration at a meeting held in May,
1906. As a result, an article describing the condition of this
room was immediately prepared for the Congregationalist :
and before the year 1906 had closed, eighty-five letters of appeal
had been mailed to as many churches.
As a result of this effort, 28 contributions were received;
the money contributions amounting to $164.85 from this
amount, an excellent and durable Wilton Carpet, Portieres,
table cover, and strong Mission chairs were purchased; while
two pretty rockers and one pretty sofa were contributed by
individuals. There now remains of this fund $41.25 for renew-
ing the ceiling and walls.
In addition to this, one of the neglected, or forsaken sleep-
ing rooms has been "adopted" by London 1st Church and the
sum of $12.00 expended on it.
The Danville room has also received a much needed contri-
bution of $5.00 and towels from Mrs. Carson, while Fitch Bay
has sent in for its room, $7.00 and a parcel of linen, and
Calvary (Montreal) has cleared an indebtedness of $10.98 on
the room which bears its name. Utensils for the kitchen and
dining room have been bought to the amount of $5.50, this
being taken from undesignated funds. This fund, which by
wisdom of our experienced treasurer, has been made to last, like
the widow's cruse of oil, is becoming fearfully low and we spe-
cially urge those churches which are not supporting separate
rooms, to send in contributions for this fund, that the one
thousand and one necessaries may be forthcoming.
164 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
We have noted with great pleasure, the ready and generous
response to our recent appeal which has come from certain of
the "Faithful ones" among our churches, and it has been re-
marked perhaps, as never before, that in every case, a hearty
donation has come from the Church whose pastor is loyal to
and fond of the College. In some of these cases, we scarcely
dared hope for a response, and yet we have received contribu-
tions of money and helpful and encouraging words as well.
It is, however, a deplorable fact that from many of our
churches manned by our "own alumni," there has not even
been an answer of any description to these appeals. Possibly
this may arise from a lack of business on the part of certain
of the Church officers.
For more definite information the Treasurer's statement
giving the exact amounts contributed by the individual Churches
is affixed to this report.
We look back over the year and realize that we have not
been allowed to work in vain. May we not in the year to come,
expect greater things from Him, who knows and can "supply
all our need."
Respectfully submitted by
(Signed) Jeanie Cora Hill,

TREASURER'S REPORT.
Your Treasurer has to report what may be called an average
year as regards the finances, and would take this opportunity
of expressing regret that half of our churches have not shown
enough interest in the College to send a contribution, also to
enter a protest on the number of Churches who do not make
their returns promptly, but wait until the last day and some
still later, thus adding very much to the labour of preparing
the annual statement.
In Ontario 28 Churches have remitted $476.34 last year,
36 Churches sent $421.59 being 8 Churches less and $54.75 more.
In Quebec 13 Churches remitted $655.82 being 5 Churches
and $195.04 less.
In Maritime Provinces 9 Churches remitted $79.04, 2
Churches and $22.29 less.
In the North-West 2 Churches remitted $21.00 last year, we
only had a personal subscription of $3.00.
The old College boy in the United States sent his annual
$10.00 if all our graduates there did the same, it would be
quite an amount.
We are again indebted to Mrs. Hill for twenty dollars for
elocution prizes and Mr. Robertson Macaulay for one hundred
jand twenty dollars for bursaries. -

ANNUAL MEETING.
The 21st Annual Meeting of the Woman's Board convened
in the First Congregational Church, Ottawa, on Thursday morn-
ing, May 30th, at 9.30. 50 delegates were present, representing
branches and auxiliaries throughout Ontario and Queebc. The
Convention was presided over by Mrs. Macallum, President of
the Board.
The meeting opened with a devotional service, after which
committees were appointed and reports of branches and un-
connected auxiliaries were received. The following branches:
Toronto, Guelph, Ottawa, London, Paris, Quebec, all reported
progress made in the various departments of work. During
the year several mission bands were formed, and are doing
good work among the children and young people. Of special
note was the report sent by the Auxiliary of Central Church,
Winnipeg, which, by the scope of its work, and variety of its
interests, may well be designated the banner auxiliary of the
Board.
Thursday afternoon was devoted, first, to the President's ad-
dress. Mrs. Macallum referred to the organization of the
Woman's Board in 1885, and gave a general retrospect of its
work and aims throughout its life of twenty-one years.
The Secretary's report showed 51 auxiliaries affiliated with
the Board, with a total membership of about 1,100, and 9 Mis-
sion Bands with a membership reaching nearly 200. The un-
selfish work of our missionaries, Miss Helen Melville, Miss Mag-
gie Melville, and Miss Diadem Bell, was referred to, laboring as
they have been for some time under serious difficulties, and
handicapped through want of helpers. A resolution expressing
confidence in them and appreciation of their faithful work was
adopted later on, and also one of thanks to Mr. Woodside for
his generosity in leaving his own work and going to their aid at
a time of special need.
A hearty vote of thanks was given Miss Thompson for her
splendid report as Treasurer. A summary of the financial state-
ment will be found on another page.
186 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
An encouraging report was given by Mrs. Savage, Editor of
the "Leaflet."
An interesting paper was read by Miss L. M. Silcox, on the
"Advantages and Disadvantages of following the Mission Study
Book," the discussion which followed showing a majority of
those present in favor of systematic study.
At the public meeting in the evening, Rev. Mr. Mcintosh
presided, and with Rev. Mr. Horsey gave a most kindly welcome
to the delegates.
The address of the evening was given by Rev. G. A. Sauden,
Wetaskiwin, Alta., whose account of his work proved so interest-
ing and graphic as to arouse great enthusiasm, and has already
resulted in something practical.
After the devotional hour on Friday morning, the reports
of the Superintendents of Departments were given, almost all
showing faithful work rewarded by good results.
An address on "Systematic Giving" was delivered by Mrs.
Edwards-Cole, of Ottawa, followed by an animated discussion as
to ways and means of raising money for Christian work.
The election of officers followed. Much sorrow was ex-
pressed when Mrs. Macallum positively refused re-election as
President. Tribute was paid to her many years of devoted and
efficient service, and she was elected Honorary President for
life. Mrs. Thos. Moodie, of Montreal, was then elected Presi-
dent with Mrs. A. B. "Wilkes, of Brantford, as Vice-President.
The early part of the afternoon was occupied with hearing
Committee reports. The plan of work for the year outlined in
the Business Committee's report being as follows:
The work in Chisamba, including the support of the Misses
Melville and Miss Diadem Bell, and the Board's share of the
Station expenses.
Miss Macallum 's work in Smyrna, to which the sum of $75.00
was voted in continuance of a scholarship.
$60.00 contributed towards Bible instruction in four Gov-
ernment Schools in Ceylon.
The usual grant of $600.00 to the C. C. M. S., and in addi-
tion $300.00 for North-West extension work, to be used by Mr.
Sanden.
women's board of missions. 187
At the evening meeting an address was given by Mrs.
Moodie on "The Future of our "Work," and Mrs. Macallum
spoke briefly on the North-West work.
The remainder of the evening was given to Mrs. F. W. Reid,
who addressed the meeting on "The People of Chisamba,"
bringing before her audience the needs of those whom the
Woman's Board has specially undertaken to help.
The Convention then adjourned, to meet in Kingston in 1908.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE CONGREGA-
TIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY.
Your directors beg leave to report the regular publication
of the Canadian Congregationalist throughout the year, com-
prising fifty weekly issues. The editorial work was under the
direction of the Rev. W. E. Gilroy, B.A., until the 31st October,
1906. since which date the Rev. H. F. Thomas has been editor
in chief.
The editor in chief has been assisted throughout the year by
the following ladies and gentlemen, as
ASSOCIATE EDITORS.
Home Missions Rev. J. Alexander, B.D.
Foreign Missions Rev. T. Bradley Hyde.
Woman's Board Mrs. H. W. Barker.

United Brethren Rev. J. W. Schofield.
together with many others, who have all contributed so much
to the value of our denominational paper.
We desire to express our warmest thanks to all.
The Year Book was published about the first week in Septem-
ber, and we have to note a larger sale than in former years.
We regret that the subscription list of our paper does not meet
the cost of the publication, and that so many of our brethren
do not appreciate the value of this connecting link of our
churches.
We also regret that some of our churches do not send orders
for the Year Book. This book contains the history of our denom-
ination from year to year, and we would urge the "maxim"
that Knowledge is Power.
Your directors have met monthly during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry O'Hara, President.
H. W. Barker. Secretary.

SPECIAL OFFER
SERVICE ON APPROVAL
AND FOR TRIAL
Since the first of the year we have sent out over
one hundred services on approval and for trial. Up
to date not one has been returned to us. Those
receiving them have usually taken up an offering
on some Sunday shortly after the service has been
used, and the people in almost every case were so
pleased that this has met the entire expense.
Therefore, if it is merely a financial question with
your church, we would suggest that a service be
sent on approval and for trial, to be returned at
our expense if not entirely satisfactory in every
way. If satisfactory, any reasonable terms can be
arranged to suit the financial requirements of your
church.
When ordering please state name and
denomination of church, number of Cups
required, finish preferred and the date of
your next Communion Sunday, so as to
avoid delay in shipping. Order well ahead
and be sure.
Made in Canada.

Underwood
The Underwood Typewriter gives satisfaction, and
isn t that what you pay for and expect to get in a type-
writer ? Just how thi9 is produced is the business of the
manufacturer of the machine, but a business man wants a
typewriter that will do his work rapidly and well, a type-
writer that will stand hard work, and lots of it, as long
as a good machine should. The Underwood does all that.
The Underwood gives better satisfaction than any
other typewriter. If it did not, why should our imports
for one month in 1907 be greater than the imports of our
strongest competitor for the entire year of 1906?
When you buy an Underwood, you get the culmin-
ation of excellence in typewriter construction. There are
but two other classes of typewriters — Underwood Imita-
tions and Antiques.

Directors— GEORGE DICKSON, M.A. (Late Principal Upper Canada College).
Mrs. GEORGE DICKSON.
Principal— MISS- J. E. MACDONALD, B.A.
ACADEMIC COURSE:
Music, Art, Domestic Science, Elocution and Physical Culture.
Distinctive features of the school are :
1. The Teachers. Only Teachers of the highest scholastic and profes-
sional standing are employed and those of the Academic Department give
their whole time to the work and are not occasional teachers brought in to
make up a staff. The leading artist musicians of Toronto are on the staff
in the musical department.
2. The Class-rooms. The Glass-rooms are built specially for the work
and are not the rooms of a private dwelling house used for the purpose.
They are well furnished and equipped with maps, charts, chemical and
physical apparatus, and they are properly lighted and ventilated. There is
a separate school for juniors.
3. The Residence. The number of pupils in residence is limited, classes
average 10 each. The management of the Residence is differentiated as
far as possible from that of the class-room, and the ladies in charge are
the companions rather than the class-room disciplinarians of the pupils
in residence, and their influence is personal, kindly, thorough and effective.
The family life is the natural one for girls. They cannot be cared for in
masses. The residence is made a real home and is free from the atmos-
phere of the class-room, and that of the large institutional boarding school.
4. Location. The College is situated in a fine open space in one of the
most desirable residential sections of Toronto. It is easily accessible from
all parts of the city. The grounds extend from Bloor Street 600 feet back
to the Rosedale ravine driveway. They thus combine ample space for out-
door sports, with beauty, picturesqueness and seclusion.
5. Concerts and Lectures. An effort is made to supplement the class-
room work by giving the pupils an opportunity to hear the lectures of
eminent scholars, and the concerts of great musicians who may come to
Toronto.
RECORD 1905-06.
The earnestness of purpose that pervades the school is attested by the
record of its pupils. No fewer than fourteen ex-pupils continued their
studies at the Universities, winning honours and prizes during the year.
Twenty passed the Examinations in Music of University of Toronto,
winning eleven first-class honours and five second-class.
Ten passed at Toronto Conservatory of Music winning three first places
in the Honour Lists.
One graduated at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art. New York.
One carried off the prize given by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway for
an essay in support of a name (Prince Rupert) for the terminal
port on the Pacific Coast. For this prize there were over 1.200
competitors.
The illustrated booklet giving full information regarding the school will
be sent to any address on applying to

AN OPEN LETTER
To Our Friends and Patrons :
We take this opportunity of thank-
ing you for your constant and liberal
patronage for the past forty years.
On the ist of May, 1866, we
entered the field with the object of
assuming the lead in our line of
business, and by reason of constant
attention, and use of the " best" of
ingredients, purifiers, machinery
and formula?, we have succeeded in
earning the merit and appreciation
of a large clientele. We have relaxed no efforts in our endeavors to
keep our business continually in a thoroughly " up-to-date " condition.
The business has been under the direct management of Mr. Charles
Gurd for over forty years. Benefiting by this long experience
we have been enabled to secure the very best results of manufacture.
No expense has been spared in
securing the highest class of ma-
chinery and other equipments for our
new factory, and we believe the re-
sult gives us the largest accommo-
dation and most approved facilities
for the manufacture of Aerated
Waters on the continent.
In purchasing please SEE THAT
OUR LABEL IS ON EVERY BOTTLE,
as this is a guarantee against
inferior substitutes
With appreciation of your favors,
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES GURD & CO.,

It has been our aim from the
beginning
to supply Canadian
consumers
with an article of
Canadian Manufacture, equal to,

ported.

y% S a rule, the most elegant gowns have
*~ ■*■ the shortest lives.
But dusty floors and muddy streets present few
terrors to the woman who knows of our establish-
ment and understands its possibilities.
Whether the soiled garment be a ball gown or
a walking suit, a careful cleaning and pressing is
almost sure to remove all traces of wear, and
restore the original freshness.
Everything, from the daintiest lace to the
heaviest portieres, is successfully cleaned or dyed
here.
